Hehehe, giants or cyclops figures have another interesting theory behind them. Ever seen a mammoth skull sans tusks? So, were they neanderthals or mammoths? You can assert whichever you want because the authors aren't here to explain. Again you're discounting the role of storytelling as though our ancestors couldn't even conceive of the notion of fiction, or metaphor. They could and did. You're making some case about these figurines being connected to judgement, but I don't know why you believe that the people that carved those idols believed in "judgement" in the way you're leveraging it. It's unsurprising that there are similarities between Sumerian and Egyptian culture. Take a look at a map. There are northern european myths of man and woman being created from trees, and the father figure as the "nurturer". Seems they didn't get the "communal experience" memo. It seems to you that myths are all about rape, and mothers stories to their children, but to me this seems to be a fairly strange way to distill the entirety of mythology.
