Again, yes and no.
I value my species ability to create, invent and be imaginative, even in art. But, where I disagree is just because a building or painting is beautiful, does not mean whatever it is decorated with or the depiction in the painting, or the song makes the memes in them true.
I think Harry Potter and Star Wars were created by very imaginative people too.
I personally like ancient Egyptian religious art. But you'd call it mythology only because nobody believes in those gods anymore. But back then they did as much as you believe in your God now.
Our species unfortunately is also very imaginative in creating horrible things like machine guns, tanks, and jets that are armed, and far too many humans also see those things as works of art too.
No keeping history around is important, but art can and is also used as propaganda too.
