Phoenix

In ancient Egyptian mythology and in myths derived from it, the phoenix is a
mythical sacred firebird. Said to live for 500, 1461 or for 12594 years
(depending on the source), the phoenix is a male bird with beautiful gold and
red plumage. At the end of its life-cycle the phoenix builds itself a nest of
cinnamon twigs that it then ignites; both nest and bird burn fiercely and are
reduced to ashes, from which a new, young phoenix arises. The new phoenix
embalms the ashes of the old phoenix in an egg made of myrrh and deposits it
in Heliopolis ("the city of the sun" in Greek), located in Egypt. The bird was
also said to regenerate when hurt or wounded by a foe, thus being almost
immortal and invincible - a symbol of fire and divinity. Although descriptions
(and life-span) vary, the phoenix became popular in early Christian art and
literature as a symbol of the resurrection, of immortality, and of
life-after-death. Originally, the phoenix was identified by the Egyptians as a
stork or heron-like bird called a benu, (see Bennu), known from the Book of
the Dead and other Egyptian texts as one of the sacred symbols of worship at
Heliopolis, closely associated with the rising sun and the Egyptian sun-god
Ra.
