History != culture. Culture has roots in history, but is a living thing defined by the experience and perception of average people living it. Short of going to a place and living it, LLMs are actually your best bet at getting the feel for a culture[0] - it sampled more reports from people of that culture than you ever could yourself.
Egyptologists are better equipped to talk about Egyptian myths than average people. But don't confuse Egyptian mythology for Egyptian culture, the former is only a component of the latter.
Also LLMs have read more primary sources on Ancient Egypt and Egyptian myths than you, me, average person, and even most amateur Egyptologists.
