Joseph Campbell worked off of outdated theories and lacked a detailed knowledge of many of the cultures about which he theorizes. For example, he says that Egypt's geographical location protects it from stronger cultures in every direction except the north. Meroe in general, and The 25th Dynasty in particular, would like a word.

He is still an acknowledged giant in the study of mythology and folklore. Many of his ideas are still worth digging into, despite his frequent casual racism and sexism.
