What people hundreds of years ago decided to call those things with their limited knowledge doesn't change what they are. And the literal genies are literally hallucinations caused by the toxic waters of that city.

Also, regarding the cursed gold here's what the devs have to say

Although the game never truly clarifies what the cause is behind the mutation, only calling it a "curse", Naughty Dog co-president Evan Wells addressed the issue. He said that mystical elements do not necessarily have a supernatural explanation, and that the idea was that there was a virus trapped inside the sarcophagus' mummy.[2]

I didn't even know they straight up stated what was obvious until I looked it up just now

And the yeti from 2 are just people in costumes.

I didn't know people still put any stock into external sources. I've to date never seen a single one that wasn't a clear backpedal or beg for attention.

But sure, if you wanna ruin it for yourself, be my guest.
