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 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 fact that shafts in both the kings chamber and queens chamber point to specific stars fixing their processional cycles confirms that the phoenix is closely related to the Great Pyramid. The Great pyramid served as the epoch time keeper of pharaonic kingship both mystical and historical.

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 . . .'

According to Rundle Clark the phoenix was a great cosmic bird which came from a distant and magical land beyond the earthly world called the Isle of Fire, the place of everlasting light beyond the limits of the world, where the gods were born or revived and whence they were sent into the world.
