Mythological Bird



In Ancient Phoenician mythology the phoenix and has a colorful feather scheme with a tail of Gold and scarlet with a lifespan of 500 to 1,000 years. It has a nest of twigs and myrrh and combusts into flames when it dies to reveal the egg of a new phoenix. The new phoenix will live as long as the old phoenix. The phoenix was used in later Greek mythology and even as far away as Japan. It as also used in the Egyptian book of the dead.
