Everything that has been made up from scratch will show influence from the environment the creator was in. In the case as something that needs diversity and rich cultures then that environment will often be all of the world in which we live. This means we will see things that mirror or parrallel the things you know from history. Expect them, they're there, just don't read too much into them. Even history can remind us of further history, it doesn't mean they did it just to mirror the first one.
