AFAIR, a cartouche is a collection of glyphs, somewhat analogous to a 
signature.

And I think the movie called them 'symbols', but the resident smartarse 
egyptologist had to decode a tablet with cartouches engraved onto it.

It's also been a while since I saw the movie, so take anything I say with 
a reasonably large pinch of NaCl.  :)

Bye for now,
