About this listen

 This book delves into the rich mythology surrounding the phoenix, particularly its Egyptian incarnation known as the Bennu. Often depicted as a symbol of rebirth and renewal, the Bennu is intricately linked to ancient Egyptian beliefs about life, death, and resurrection. Unlike its later representations in other cultures as a fiery bird rising from ashes, the Egyptian version of this mythical creature was more akin to a heron or sparrow and was believed to emerge from water rather than flames. This unique perspective reflects the significance of water in Egyptian cosmology, where it represented fertility and regeneration.
