Vogel Responds to John Gee

Recently, FAIR president Scott Gordon sat down with Mormon Egyptologist John Gee for what they termed a virtual fireside titled “Ask the Egyptologist,” which was posted on RUclips on 19 Dec. 2021. Gee defended many of his old apologetic arguments, including his theory that the Book of Abraham was translated from a lost portion of the papyri, but he also presented new criticisms of what he called the sequential theory proposed by those who believe the papyri that Joseph Smith pretended to translate was among the fragments the New York Metropolitan Museum returned to the LDS Church in 1967. I have dealt with many of Gee’s arguments in my videos as well as in my latest book Book of Abraham Apologetics: A Review and Critique, published by Signature Books in Salt Lake City. Since this was Gee’s latest attempt to publicly defend his lost-scroll theory, I thought it would be a favorable opportunity to provide the public with a critique of his arguments and evidence, especially as it pertains to his criticism of the sequential theory.
I have only responded to the main points in Gee’s interview. The entire interview can be found at

I would inform my viewers that on April 12, 2022, RUclips notified me that FAIR (Faithful Answers, Informed Response) had issued a request for RUclips to take down this video response to John Gee, alleging that I had violated their copyright. The request was twice declined.
My message to the FAIR leaders is--Instead of trying to suppress my video, how about producing a video or some other work responding to my criticisms. That’s what real scholars do.
