I'm not so sure nimrod founded anything in Egypt.
Nobody founded Egypt. Egypt was an area that was similar to our own Mississippi valley, but then environmental calamity made it into a desert, and all the people flooded to the only remaining river left. Eventually local lords came around, and the indo-European pantheon migration gave them invented gods like Ra and the lot. Eventually Menes united the two present kingdoms, and Egypt was born.
No one man "created" Egypt. Egypt is the result of many rulers, many leaders, many builders, and many people. And this is reflected on the fact that they had many gods, constantly evolving and changing in their origin stories and myths. Because Egypt was not constant. There is no one culture or identity of Egypt.

This stuff is very confusing but there does appear to be a lot of consistent themes and when it comes to someone new to this stuff such as myself it is difficult to follow.

Well actually, it's very likely most of it is a lie. It's not my problem you're willing to trust 30th century BC sheep herders.
Also Osiris did not begin Pharaoh rule. Ptah, ra, shu, and geb are all listed as coming from before him.
it's very likely these were local warlords or chiefs whom ruled a few villages.
if there is no explanation available even the most outlandish explanation is better than saying it is a mystery that cannot be answered by any current scientific reasoning.

combine that with mahabharata texts claiming things like a god who had a ship that could cloak itself. a flying city. a ship that could hurl projectiles that would follow the enemy ship no matter where it went, like it had a lock on target function or heat seeking function. there's a bunch of very bizarre data in the hindu texts. i avoid the newer stuff and go straight to the oldest, and the oldest is pretty freaky.

Because that's part of the Indo-european tradition.
An ancient migrating story of myths that probably reached Japan via the silk road.
