It's about Joseph Campbell.
Joseph Campbell is trying to rewrite ancient history by claiming that biblical stories are just stories whose themes happen to resonate with people, instead of true history that spread across the world, and were rediscovered in places that hadn't had contact with the outside world for millennia.
I'm well read on his work, I see your point but I think it's other people recognizing the value in his work but using that work for their own ends.
