Bennu
This is a sacred Egyptian bird whose name means “one who returns”; it is the emblem of resurrection and is consecrated to Osiris, and appears to have been the forerunner of the Greek phoenix. At times it resembles a heron, with long feathers extending from the back of its head; at other times it resembles a kind of eagle, adorned with red and golden feathers corresponding to the rising sun.
According to legend, the creature would rise up singing from the branches of a certain tree, and its song was so beautiful that even the gods would stop to listen. But according to other versions, the bird sang at the hour of its death, bringing death to the creatures that were spellbound by the beauty of its song.
