📜 Long before the biblical texts, the figure of "Satan" already existed

not under that name, but in familiar traits: gods of wisdom, rebellion, and the breaking of established orders.

In Sumerian and Egyptian traditions, Enki and Seth already embodied this role of "sacred disruptor," not as evil figures, but as spiritual catalysts.
