Ancient Origins has been quoted by:
At Ancient Origins, we believe that one of the most important fields of knowledge we can pursue as human beings is our beginnings. And while some people may seem content with the story as it stands, our view is that there exist countless mysteries, scientific anomalies and surprising artifacts that have yet to be discovered and explained.
The goal of Ancient Origins is to highlight recent archaeological discoveries, peer-reviewed academic research and evidence, as well as offering alternative viewpoints and explanations of science, archaeology, mythology, religion and history around the globe.
We’re the only Pop Archaeology site combining scientific research with out-of-the-box perspectives.
By bringing together top experts and authors, this archaeology website explores lost civilizations, examines sacred writings, tours ancient places, investigates ancient discoveries and questions mysterious happenings. Our open community is dedicated to digging into the origins of our species on planet earth, and question wherever the discoveries might take us. We seek to retell the story of our beginnings.

You can perhaps find Hamlets Mill by Giorgio de Santillana and, Hertha von Dechen in your local library?
https://www.amazon.com/Hamlets-Mill-Investigating-Knowledge-Transmission/dp/0879232153
In places it is a bit difficult to read, but it does links together various stories from around the world.

Author of:
The Map that Talked - How astronomy was used to map the ancient world
The Babel Texts - Decoding the early text of the Stone Age
Scotland and Shakespeare's Third Prophecy - Recovering Scotland's Forgotten past
Another book is
The Origins of the World's Mythologies
but again it’s not an easy read.

I just placed an order and can't wait for the goods to arrive
You are as able to compaire folklore as anyone who writes a book. And your opinions about things are valid. Why don’t you go read the sourses and form your own ideas. It’s really not hard. Try
The poetic Edda and Beowulf and The acts of king Arthur and his noble knights, by steinbeck. When reading them, you can compaire the various ideas of what makes a noble person and what makes a good warrior. Then wonder about the conflicting of religions and cultures.
It’s fun to do that with books.
--Still learning--
I recommend you "The Masks of God" series by Joseph Campbell. This series consists of four volumes: "Primitive Mythology," "Oriental Mythology," "Occidental Mythology," and "Creative Mythology." Each volume explores different mythological traditions.
It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.
