What is the ancient Egyptian word for angel?
The word angel comes from the Greek word angelo = I announce. Angels were simply messengers, and in a pre-aerial and mechanical era, had to be invented to carry messages from the gods, and to do this, they had to be given wings. The Egyptian gods resided in their temples, and didn't need messengers, as people visited them in the local temple. The creators of the monotheistic religions Judaism, Christianity and Islam, postulated remote gods who were not nearby and could not be visited, and had to invent angels to pass messages. Over time, these simple messengers have been upgraded to something more, though just what is unclear, as the different religions have invested them with different characteristics. Even today, with our modern communications, people still believe in their god needing flying messengers.
