common stories are best derived from almost all cultures having pretty similar ways of living.  most cultures we have surviving myth from were settled farmers in temperate or subtropical climates that lived close to rivers or lakes when able, with diets focused around a few staple crops that had to be harvested seasonally, and who were at least knowledgeable of the concept of metal working and tool craft. and they built permanent structures for decoration and to assert strength. most regularly engaged in physical conflict with neighbors and had concepts of conquest and tribute.  these factors are going to result in many similar myths and stories because they're pulling from the same substrate.  and that ignores that many of these 'unrelated' cultures, were in fact related, often being products of indo-european roots or having been a culture that interacted with them regularly.  i don't think the jungian concept really fits here. the specifics of how these different myths and stories and cultural traits express themselves differs too much spatially and over time, in my mind.
