We always do that though. We project our bias in interpreting an ancient culture's beliefs. There is a lot of Ancient Greek religion we don't know about since all we have is the Theogony and the Orphic stories; but we know Egyptian religion much better than the Ancient Greeks since they recorded their religion on the wall. But we fail when we project our bias on the facsimiles.

That's why it is so important to get the ancient Egyptians ideas on these matters also. Fun stuff!
