Prophets, Seers & Sages: The Angels of the Ages is the second studio album by Tyrannosaurus Rex, comprising Marc Bolan (vocals, guitar) and Steve Peregrin Took (bongos, African drums, kazoo, pixiephone, Chinese gong). It was released on 14 October 1968 but failed to chart upon first release.

The album was paired with the first Tyrannosaurus Rex album My People Were Fair and Had Sky in Their Hair... But Now They're Content to Wear Stars on Their Brows (1968) and re-released by Fly Records as the double album Tyrannosaurus Rex: A Beginning on 14 April 1972, following the success of the T. Rex albums Electric Warrior (1971) and The Slider (1972). This re-released edition of the album reached #1 in the UK Albums Chart. This double LP set was released in the United States on A&M Records, and was the first time the album was available there.

The album opens with a revistation of Tyrannosaurus Rex's first single "Debora", given a reversed-tape effect, as indicated in its new title, "Deboraarobed".
