The Seed of the Phoenix and the Great Pyramid
One of the most mysterious myths of ancient Egypt was the legend of the Phoenix. Rundle Clark in explains the relationship of the bennu bird to the phoenix and the symbolism it was intended to invoke.
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, therefore, embodies the original Logos, the Word, or declaration of destiny which arbitrates between the mind of God and created things…In a sense, when the great bird gave out its ancient scream, it initiated all those [calendrical] cycles, so it is the ancestor 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 Phoenix and the Great Pyramid as timekeepers of the stars of Orion and, by extension, the soul of the Osiris kings, clearly shows forth the connection. This is underscored by this quote from the book of the dead, “Who is he?” …I am the great phoenix which is Heliopolis. (See chapter 17)
According to the interpretation of Rundle Clark, the phoenix was a great cosmic bird that came from a place called the Isle of fire. It was a a magical land and a place of everlasting light. It was from this place that gods were born and from this Isle of fire they were sent into this world.
