Interesting that it was found in the tomb of Isiris. In effect, it's the same as a mandala, which is Hindu in origin and is used today in various branches of Mahayana Buddhism, including Tibetan Buddhism, as a focus for meditation. An optical version of the mantra, if you like.

In that connection, Carl Jung saw a value, although to call it a scientific value would be to invite controversy:

"Psychiatrist Carl Jung saw the mandala as "a representation of the unconscious self," and believed his paintings of mandalas enabled him to identify emotional disorders and work towards wholeness in personality." Wiki.

Probably because they are used by people in those ways, such constructions tend to develop a mystique, and are often regarded as 'esoteric' in the sense that they are supposed to be intelligible only to people with special knowledge.

It's a short step from there to the speculations on secret societies and conspiracy theories beloved by so many.
