The Vanir themselves are elevated to dieties in many western european myths with the Aesir being demoted to giants. Balor Baldur, Loki Lugh. "The Great Mother" is a blanket term that ended up becoming incredibly popular these last few decades. It's not strictly speaking accurate, as many "goddess figurines" have entirely different mythologies and purpose behind them. Many times the do look alot alike, there's only so much you can do with stone and soft metal tools. I think you may be focusing one one thing that does present itself often in mythology (rape) and through that lens the rest of it can be made to re-enforce that single-issue narrative. No surprise that people wrote about rape, and it's no surprise that good literature (mythology) can be interpreted many ways. You jumped right back into egyptian myth and judgement, but we're talking 50k year old fertility idols aren't we? The egyptians pantheon (and artwork) is a little beyond that. That there are points in epygtian culture where it would seem that they believed the world of the gods and ourselves to be one and the same (ergo gods judging living men) should not surprise you either. For many people across the world there is (or was) no separation between our world and theirs. You're reaching very hard to make these fit into the same mold of some long forgotten event. I'm really starting to wonder what you believe this event was at this point.
Just paraphrase whatever theory you're referring to, who was Ra?
(by the by, yes, people are that "stupid", then and now. It's a little more complicated than just (or even)stupid but hey whatever, if all myth is rape than the source of myth or legend can be stupidity while we're at it.)
