Demons, as they’re called in English translation, have haunted Christians in the Western World for a very long time. In the Ancient Near East, they could be nice or not so nice, forming a part of a fascinating, and complex pantheon that people invoked and worshiped. A fine distortion of this religious system would be the film The Exorcist in which a child is possessed by Pazuzu, a demon who, in the Ancient Near East, was actually invoked to save young children and fetuses, to defeat Lamashtu, a demon who enjoyed taking babies, fetuses, and pregnant women away from the physical world. Why, in your opinion, is it fun for modern Westerners to demonize such Ancient Near Eastern “demons” in Hollywood films and get it all so totally wrong and historically inaccurate?
