One of the strangest and least understood myths of Ancient Egypt concerns the bennu bird or phoenix. A description of the symbolism which it was intended to invoke was given by Rundle Clark.

Clark: "One has to imagine a perch extending out of the waters of the Abyss. On it rests a grey heron, the herald of all things to come. It opens its beak and breaks the silence of the primeval night with the call of life and destiny, which 'determines what is and what is not to be'...

The Phoenix embodies the original Word of God (Logos) or declaration of fate which moderates between the God-mind and created things...In a sense, when the phoenix gave out the primeval call it put into motion the cycles of the calander. So it is the father of all divisions of time, and its temple at Heliopolis became the centre of calendrical regulation."

The notion that the phoenix is closely connected to the Great Pyramid as the epoch and time keeper of pharaonic kingship as was suspected is confirmed. This is true in both a mystical and historical sense. The shafts in the kings chamber point toward specific stars and fixed their processional cycles and other cycles.

The link, therefore, between the Great Pyramid and the phoenix is unmistakable. In the Book of the Dead (see chapter 17) the question is asked: "Who is he'? ..I am the great phoenix which is in Heliopolis. So the link connects the two as time keepers of the stars of Orion and the "soul" of the Osiris kings.

According to Rundle Clark the phoenix was a great cosmic bird which came from a distant and magical land beyond the earthly world called the Isle of Fire, the place of everlasting light beyond the limits of the world, where the gods were born or revived and whence they were sent into the world.
