I've asked this question before but it just occurred to me again. What if what we know about ancient cultures is all lies. Because the writings we've found are from the Fox News or Breitbart of the time. How can we really believe we know anything about ancient history?
My point stands. What was written had a political viewpoint. What was canonized had a political viewpoint.

Sure. But how much of it might just be flat out lies? Completely made up?

“Lies” is a bit harsh. Some of what is in religious texts is mythology, creating a shared history that is objectively false but has a different purpose than being a true history.
