It is posible to make a timeline of Archangel Michael syncretism?
First of all sorry for my english, it is not my first language and I will try to be as clear as possible without using AI.
I have a genuine curiosity abut the syncretism in modern religions and how far can it be traced back.
Humanity has been worshipping since basically forever and I believe the gods (energies or wathever) that we pray to can be traced back to the begining of humans just with diffrent names (and diffrent rituals to honor them) so I tried to enter the wikipedia rabbit hole searching for the changes and adaptations of Archangel Michael, I know his name an origin is from mesopotamic religions but I there isn't much before that.
So this is when I ask you guys if is it posible to trace back where Archangel Michael (as it is known today) came from before the Bible? Or at least where to search/read that isn't wikipedia or those conspiracy-like websites were they say Baal was evil child-eater god?
Thank you.
