Yes, but herein you're assuming that all mytholgies have some "original idea" that connects them, with very little evidence that this is the case. Again, you're referring to similarities between judaism, christianity, greek and egyptian traditions. Three of these border one and other (or are in fact portions of each other) and the fourth's influence (and being influenced by) the first three is very well understood. These are not "all" of the worlds mythologies, they are not representative of the rest of the worlds mythologies, and they cannot speak authoritatively for the entirety of the worlds mythologies as presented. I know, I know, it's terrible to imagine that more than one thing may have been going on with the strange stories our ancestors told. It would be much simpler if there were a smoking gun. There just isn't. The next time a theist reared their ugly head I could yell "Shut up neanderthal apologist!". "Stop practicing godless egyptian magic Tom Cruise!" It would make me sick to my stomach to do so.
