Said to live for 500 or 1461 years (depending on the source), the phoenix is a male bird with beautiful gold and red plumage. At the end of its life-cycle the phoenix builds itself a nest of cinnamon twigs that it then ignites; both nest and bird burn fiercely and are reduced to ashes, from which a new, young phoenix arises. The new phoenix embalms the ashes of the old phoenix in an egg made of myrrh and deposits it in Heliopolis (“the city of the sun” in Greek), located in Egypt. The bird was also said to regenerate when hurt or wounded by a foe, thus being almost immortal and invincible — a symbol of fire and divinity.

Amazing creature!
Thanks, thanks (;
i h8 to break it to ya’ll but IT NOT REAL GET OVER IT
to me, the phoenix is a symbol of death, ideal death, and life after death. AND a symbol of strength. thus its my favorite.
born 2 h8 america : i think the definition of “mythical” is “unreal”. excellent guesswork there. save your breath next time.
The story of the Phoenix never fails to fascinate me~
