Rundle Clark in his description of the symbolism of the bennu bird and its relationship to the phoenix makes a gigantic contribution. The phoenix bird is one of the lest understood myths of Ancient Egypt.

Clark: "One has to envision a perch extending out of the waters of the Void. On it rests a grey heron, the herald of all things to come. It opens its mouth and breaks the silence of the ancient night with the call of light and purpose, which 'determines what is and what is not to be'...

The Phoenix, therefore, embodies the original the Word (or Logos) or declaration of destiny which mediates between the divine-mind and created things...In a sense, when the phoenix gave out the primeval call it initiated all those [calendrical] cycles, so it is the patron 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 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.
