69-01 (II) The Healing of Sudhirta
(Gated) The Phoenix, in ancient Egypt and in Classical antiquity, a fabulous bird associated with the worship of the sun. The Egyptian phoenix was said to be as large as an eagle, with brilliant scarlet and gold plumage and a melodious cry. Only one phoenix existed at any time, and it was very long-lived—no ancient authority gave it a life span of less than 500 years. As its end approached, the phoenix fashioned a nest of aromatic boughs and spices, set it on fire, and was consumed in the flames. From the pyre miraculously sprang a new phoenix, which, after embalming its father’s ashes in an egg of myrrh, flew with the ashes to Heliopolis (“City of the Sun”) in Egypt, where it deposited them on the altar in the temple of the Egyptian god of the sun, Ra.
The Egyptians associated the phoenix with immortality, and that symbolism had a widespread appeal in late antiquity. It was also widely interpreted as an allegory of resurrection and life after death— Robert Morning Sky The Terra Papers his account of the Star Beings and many points of History in the Menagerie attach in PDF Utube video The Last of the Mohicans THE BEST EVER! by Alexandro Querevalú
