I don't trust your source. 1900 BCE is Middle Kingdom, not Old Kingdom. Also, a lot of those older cryptic hieroglyphs turned out to be in an early Northwestern Semitic language. The idea was apparently that you're going to have spells effective against snakes coming in on ships from Byblos, the spells should invoke the deities they know in the language they know. https://semiticmuseum.fas.harvard.edu/publications/early-nor... |
