Ancient Egypt, Greece, China, Persia?! - Where did the Phoenix Myth Come from?

Описание: The image of a magnificent bird that bursts into flames periodically, only to rise from the ashes, has captured human imagination for thousands of years. What is it about the phoenix that continues to endure? Let’s find out.

There are many variations of the phoenix across the globe, such as the Simurgh of ancient Persia and the feng huang of China. These birds were of great significance to their cultures, just as the phoenix was to the Ancient Greeks.

The myth of the phoenix comes from Ancient Greece and has been mentioned by Herodotus, Pliny the Elder, and Pope Clement I, among others. However, some believe that the origins of this mythical figure are rooted in Ancient Egypt, where a heron bird called the bennu was worshipped as part of their creation myths.
