A few of my quibbles,can't be bothered with more.
(1) Isis was the sister -wife of Osiris,not a virgin..
(2) Some myths are based on fact,most are not. At least that is what I was taught at university whilst studying anthropology..
(3) Campbell's work is tainted by theosophy,his work stuck in the nineteenth century. A competent modern anthropologist would not use the term 'primitive' anything..
Overall, I think your proposition is of mild interest, although unoriginal, sloppy and inconclusive. I suggest go away and do some serious research under supervision and write a proper thesis.
To me, your article smells a little of the well known crackpottery of "Zeitgeist"'
PS I too thought you had been banned. We'll soon find out;if you're a sock puppet, you won''t last long.
