'demon' is a really unfortunate choice of description because of the Christian association.

Read the original texts, much more imaginative, original and real(!) than anything a fantasy author can come up with.

#8I feel like I saw this exact same post with the same comments a couple days ago.
Of course that’s all good but I just wanna make sure someone else concurs and I’m not being haunted by Egyptian demons?

#9> Images of demons first began to appear in the Middle Kingdom (ca. 2030–1640 B.C.).
Thoughts needed (please omit jokes unless actually funny). I'm a brit. The date above is not stonehenge-era but isn't too far off. I've long been puzzled by the fact that sophisticated cultures were around then with complex social structures, that had writing and some pretty dazzling statuary and buildings.
Let's take that back further, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6bekli_Tepe ~10K years ago (no writing I'm aware of but look at the artefacts)
Over here in albion at the time? Sweet FA. No comparable culture that I'm aware of. Around 0 BC or a bit earlier you get these https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broch but still, no writing, few (if any) significant decorative artefacts from that period. It is so odd. Any explanations? I mean other than "that's how it was". Perhaps there's just stuff I don't know of.

AFAIK, writing evolved as a way to keep track of business transactions as did money and credit systems.
So, I expect writing to follow agriculture and some urbanization when a large population trades with each other.
