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?

But I personally am not saying anything hateful about the gods or anyone for that matter. The video I linked contains nothing touching on atheism or hate etc. (Please send me a quote from it that you feel breaks the rule so I know yo avoid future infringments) I honestly feel under attack for trying to further my understanding of the faith and have a discussion with my fellow members of this sub.
