I've never seen the originals but I've seen some of the research... Likelihood some knew what it said? High. Lots of trade history, going back thousands of years. (really confirmed for King Tut, but yes, goes back a while) Likelihood aesthetics over worrying about what it said? Who really knows... with enough evidence to suggest the range between "some did care" and "as secular as a modern atheist" all being not unheard of. Likelihood of it saying what the researchers said? Middling, but there are other finds like it which are a bit more consistent...
