What are some examples of civilizations sharing some aspects of their mythology. The greeks and egytians both had sphinx's.

dragons

Japan and Korea both have shapeshifting foxes that seduce men and eat their livers.

It is extremely common to the point of being universal that mythology is invariably shared by neighbouring peoples. I can't think of a single mythological trope, archetype or monster that is unique to a single mythology.

Fuck me, I'm retarded and misread.

I apologize.

Being Anon means never having to apologize for being an idiot. Just tell me to get fucked or something.

Pretty much all aspects of mythology are shared if you look.

>>2996359
Well it's a folk memory thing. The aboriginese remember the Australian megafauna. And Indians remember the mammoths.
