The Great Pyramid and the Bird of Fire

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."

This confirms what we suspected, that the notion of the phoenix is closely related to the Great Pyramid as the epoch and timekeeper of pharaonic kingship, both mystical and historical. The shafts from the King's and Queen's chambers are calendrical in that they point toward specific stars and fixed their processional and other cycles.

There is therefore a link between the phoenix and the pyramid as timekeepers of the stars of Orion and, by extension, the 'soul' of the Osiris-kings. In the Book of the Dead (Chapter 17) the question is asked: 'Who is he? . . . I am the great phoenix which is in Heliopolis . . .'

The phoenix, according to Rundle Clark, was a great cosmic bird (UFO?) which came from a distant magical land beyond this world; a place called the Isle of fire. it was a place of eternal light far beyond the limits of what was known. It was the place where gods were born and from where they were sent to this world.
