......when Thoth (Quetzalcoatl, the Winged Serpent) "chose an abode in the New Realms

Well, that's fine mystical speculation. However, the Egyptians did not use cuneiform. They used their own heiroglyphics and the demotic form.

Thoth is only one of the ancient names for 'Ningishzidda,' (Sumerian for 'Lord of the Tree of LIfe), which pre-dates Egyptian civilization. Thoth was the brother of Marduk/Ra. Sitchin notes that Marduk re-claimed lordship over Egypt from Thoth in 3113. Thoth found himself a god without a people; and it is suggested by Sitchin that Thoth, accompanied some of his faithful follwers chose an abode in the New Realms -- in Mesoamerica, an event which started the Long Count of the Mesoamerican Calendar.

Interesting stuff, even if only myth.

Well, they did, the Amarna archive is largely cuneiform. That's of much later date however than 3500 BC. :')
