A Belgium-based Egyptologist has discovered the oldest depictions of ancient Egyptian demons, showing that demonic entities populated the ancient Egyptians’ imaginations as far back as 4,000 years ago.
According to newsdiscovery Wael Sherbiny, an independent scholar who specializes in the ancient Egyptian religious texts, found two demons on two Middle Kingdom coffins about 4,000 years old.
“The texts indicate that the demons have a swift attack with inescapably powerful grip on whomever he sees and they also gripped their victims and cut off their heads” Sherbiny said.
