Bennu
The Bennu is an ancient Egyptian deity linked with the sun, creation, and rebirth. It may have been the inspiration for the phoenix in Greek mythology.
==Roles==
According to Egyptian mythology, the Bennu was a self-created being said to have played a role in the creation of the world. It was said to be the ''ba'' of Ra and enabled the creative actions of Atum.〔Hart, George, ''The Routledge Dictionary of Egyptian Gods and Goddesses, Second Edition'', 2005. pp. 48–49〕 It was said to have flown over the waters of Nun that existed before creation, landing on a rock and issuing a call that determined the nature of creation. It was also a symbol of rebirth and was therefore associated with Osiris.〔Wilkinson, Richard H., ''The Complete Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt'', 2003. p. 212〕
Some of the titles of the Bennu bird were "He Who Came Into Being by Himself",〔 and "Lord of Jubilees"; the latter epithet referred to the belief that the Bennu periodically renewed itself like the sun.〔 Its name is related to the Egyptian verb ''wbn'', meaning "to rise in brilliance" or "to shine".〔
