No. Technically a "Graven image" has to be of something living:  A
human or a bird for example. The image of tablets isn't a "Graven
Image."

But, even within the "Technically" there's another "Technically"
here. The ancient Egyptians, "Technically," didn't worship graven
images. They knew a rock was a piece of rock, that a wood carving
was just wood carved by an artist. What they believed is that the
god would see this image made of them, FOR THEM, and enter it.

Heck, they even believed that PEOPLE could and would do this!

Google:  Ka statue

But they, the bible writers, also got it right in that picture
writings were "Magic." Even the Egyptians used to sometimes do
things like cut the snake hieroglyph in half to avoid the snake,
made real by it's depiction, biting the tomb owner...

The bible doesn't exist in isolation.
