Pyramid Power

What about the idea of a world tree?

It's common in parts of Europe, Siberia and the Americas, but rare in Africa, Asia and Australasia. That's probably about as close as you'll get to a common archetype. There are also many myths of huge cosmic battles and resurrected gods, but again I wouldn't say they are the majority.

Can you give an example of a single archetype myth to support your claim? We are talking about any single event which is common across every culture.

Had you watched the video presented your question would have been answered.....

Why just the flood alone is told in almost every single people that existed....

It is only the details, not the archetype that differ. The details differ as people spread out and the reality got distorted in the telling and fitted to each culture....

Then we have the warrior myth, the dragon myth and the princess myth, which also exist in every single culture...

All explainable by understanding what we see now, has not always been this way....

I bet you can't give an example beyond everything having come into existence.

Edit: I recognise there are many stories of local floods, but they're local floods and the story lines are different.

But the archetype is the same. If I told a story right now to someone and it got repeated 100 times, by the time it reached you the details would be different, but the basic archetype would remain across all the different versions....

Your knowledge of world geography is another area you need to spend time improving.

Your knowledge for most everything needs improved, but then that's why you presented no facts to counter, but just make unsupported claims..... As ALWAYS.....

You're correct that my knowledge of pretty much everything needs improving since I don't know everything. But I know a lot about many things, and in several areas I know an awful lot more than you. In this instance you have made a demonstrably false claim, per usual, and are complaining that you've been called on it.

Why not admit that you are not the authority on any subject, you have made a mistake again and will correct that mistake?

Deluge myths are common, but far from universal. Funny we should be talking about the pyramids, because Egypt is one of the cultures where it is conspicuously absent from mythology. Japan too is another country with a strong mythology that lacks a flood myth.

Dragon myths, like flood myths, are common but far from universal. There's plenty of cultures that lack a dragon analog in their mythologies, or their dragons are clear transplants from other mythologies. Southern Indian cultures are totally devoid of dragons until about 500 BC, for instance. After that, they adopted parts of some of the mythologies from their northern neighbors that include dragons.

Warrior myths and princess myths are probably as close as it comes to universal as it gets, but those are extant things, not mythical creatures.

The closest thing I can think of that is mythical AND universal are 'little people' myths about faries and similar.

For the record, if I name a single culture, let alone multiple cultures, which does not have those myths will you a admit you're wrong?

I won't hold my breath. ...
