I think it is a combination of both. They probably came up with some general stuff, then the smarter guys said "Hey people are believing this 100%, we can put anything we want in here and people will obey".
I'm sure some of it is allegory, some of it was perceived as fact when it was written, and some was word smithed in there to help control people.
