Song of Khuwyt
This sounds and looks like the pledge of allegiance to me so I did some digging into the creater of the American ritual to see if that person was in some way knowledgable or connected to Egyptian writings. Turns out he was a member of he Masonic Lodge.

"To the right, the area is divided into two sub-registers.
In the top one, two men (identified as "treasurer") offer long pieces of cloth and two items wrapped in cloth, whilst saying "For your Ka!". Behind them, two kneeling lector priests make the gesture of jubilation, the henu: left arm on the chest and right arm raised, whilst the text above them states: "Reciting the formulae of transfiguration by the lector priest".
A line of text separates the two sub-registers, the later half of which is destroyed. This is repeated, more in tact, between a similar pair of registers on the south wall, where the translation will be given.
In the sub-register below, two other officiants recite the classic formula of offering, the hotep di nesu, to Ra and to Geb. In front of them, another pours a libation of water, dedicating the offerings of the list. "
As I looked at this deeper it became clear to me that this is the Pledge of Allegiance. Just as the Masons have used Egyptian concepts, rituals, and science in building, architecture, and dress. The Mason who was commissioned to develop the Pledge of Allegiance was drawing on the power of Egyptian prayer rituals for the American flag and its principles.
