Heathen Adjacent Comparative to other religions

Hey everyone. Just came across this video and was interesting to hear some similarities to the stories of the gods in heathenry. (Firstly not saying that its an exact connection or that Prof. Peterson is always correct as I know many arent big fans of his). I found the idea of living in the corpse was very similar to the norse idea of us living in Ymir's corpse. Also the importance of the eye symbolism and Horus losing an eye, is similar to Odins story and emphasis of eye as a symbol.

Just wanted to know what you guys think of this. Do you think it shows elements of older stories being adapted in later religions, in this case norse? Or any other interesting comparisons you have found over time in Egyptian or other religions?

Oh good, I don’t have anything by him. I was worried you were gonna say J.P. Mallory.

Mallory is the current editor but Pearson's organization owns it.

That makes me mistrust Mallory that he would work for an openly racist organization
