The short of it is, these cartouches were very likely forgeries done at
the behest of Vyse by his shady associates (specifically, a Mr. Hill).
The cartouches found are in a unique hieroglyphic dialect and artistic
style never seen in Egyptology before or since their "discovery".
For a scholarly and compelling narrative see /The Stairway to Heaven/ by
Zecharia Sitchen [ISBN 0-380-63339-6], pp258-282.
Indeed, now that you mention it, I remember something about that in the

I remembered the graffiti part, but apparently not the forgery part.
Mea culpa and all that.
