The Quran was written after Muhammad’s death, correct? How have you ruled out all possible ways that information could have made its way into your book?
The entirety of the Qur'an is an oral transmission, its later compilation came from the same oral heritage that prevailed during Muhammad's lifetime and it didn't alter its content, most orientalist scholars have no problem accepting the preservation of the Qur'an. And actually this is irrelevant, the decipherment of hieroglyphs is a very recent event, sometime around 1800.
