Yes, artists, much like writers depicted things the way they saw them and understood them.
Again, one has to wonder, How there are so many "coincidences" when it comes to certain topics.
I recall reading that the ancient writing when depicting "demons" were in fact describing "aliens". When I thought about it, it could very well be that back in the day when there weren't any words to describe UFOs and Aliens, that they were seen to be as "demons", hence this then made a lot of sense to me.
Again, understanding what the artists and writers were trying to relay to us is what remains a mystery, "the generation gap" as we like to call it plays a major role in deciphering and understanding things.
Excellent post mate, fully enjoyed the read.
Thanks mate, here is a good example of a painting that has a demon but many believe it is an alien.
As far as I'm concerned they're one and the same.
Really cool painting - thanks for sharing. I think this is an incredibly interesting hypothesis, but have this question from it: "Where did they go and why don't we see these demons and angels anymore?"
