No. I do not have a degree (which if you do not have a masters and really a PhD then you are not an Egyptologist regardless) or equivalent body of field work/professional experience. Does this mean that most Egyptologists are more qualified to talk about some of the things we do here? No.

But this is not what Egyptology is largely about whose focus is namely on the art and culture of the MK and later and being able to read and understand the minutia of AE writing.

Without the mentioned above, if one is going to call someone or consider themselves an "Egyptologist" who technically is not, then there needs to be some kind of qualifier like "independent" Egyptologist or the like. The problem with Scott reffering to Origyptian as such, with or without a qualifier, something Origyptian at least had the sense to never refer to himself as, is that he is so clearly unqualified in any sense of the word we have no choice but to question Scott's integrity and/or common sense.
