Angel (Greek: angelos, meaning "messenger", Persian: angaros, "courier") is traditionally believed to be supernatural beings who serve as messengers or mediators between man and primordial gods. As such, they are often depicted in religious works and mythologies as winged humanoid beings. The winged human motif stems as far back as the Sumerian civilization, and possibly earlier. The earliest known record, dating c. 10,000 BCE, of ritualistic activity involving a religious center is Gobekli Tepe where headless pillars have anthropomorphic features that might represent some type of spirit medium.

Ancient aliens
The Ancient Aliens hypothesis postulates that what was seen as “angels” were really extraterrestrials.
