Of course, it's not evidence of anything except that people could write some stuff down. It offers some interesting insights about what society might have been like back then.
"Interesting" maybe like TSA figuring out how a plane crash happened. I find nothing valuable about antiquity outside of the artwork. Peppering some kind motifs into any religion is what they all do. The downside to religion back then is that it was still classed based and centered around sexism and tribal kingships.
