Many caches have been found, of mummies and papyri. Remember the Dead Sea Scrolls? Champollion found a cache of papyri that supposedly helped him decipher hieroglyphs. Although there is nothing to say Vyse found a cache, the idea is not ludicrous, it has happened. Did you suppose all papyri ended up in museums and universities then and now? But then Scott said it was only an idea, and it is not one of the main points in his book.
And if hieroglyph translation was in it's "very early days", how was it Vyse knew immediately that he'd found the name of Suphis (Khufu)? How many books on hieroglyphs had been printed by the time Vyse was is Egypt? Enough to know the name of the builder of G1 was Suphis (another absurd assumption). A prophecy Vyse conveniently fulfilled.
