Your note about the loss of pure archetypes reminds me of the book American Gods in which the old European gods who came to the US with European settlers are slowly being forgotten for the new gods of technology. The book is fiction, but is based on the fact that people create and evolve gods to fit their needs. I think it is sad that more people don't know or study the history of gods and religion. There is rich and fascinating history of how the gods and myths we have today were modified from past work. Even more fascinating is understanding why they were modified as well as why some were dropped.
