Phoenix - The Firebirds
02.27.07 (6:39 am)   [edit]


Seal of the University of Chicago,
bearing a phoenix, its official mascot

In ancient Egyptian mythology and in myths derived from it, the phoenix or phœnix is a mythical sacred firebird.
Said to live for 500 or 1461 years (depending on the source), the phoenix is a 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 the Egyptian city of Heliopolis ("the city of the sun" in Greek). 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. Tears from a phoenix can heal wounds.
Although descriptions (and life-span) vary, the phoenix (Bennu bird) became popular in early Christian art, literature and Christian symbolism, as a symbol of Christ, and further, represented the resurrection, immortality, and the life-after-death of Jesus Christ.
Originally, the phoenix was identified by the Egyptians as a stork or heron-like bird called a benu, known from the Book of the Dead and other Egyptian texts as one of the sacred symbols of worship at Heliopolis, closely associated with the rising sun and the Egyptian sun-god Ra.

The AIM-54 Phoenix is a long-range, radar-guided air-to-air missile, carried in clusters of up to six missiles; formerly on the U.S. Navy's and currently on the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force's F-14 Tomcat fighters; the only aircraft capable of carrying it.
The AIM-54 was originally developed in the early 1960s for the cancelled F-111B naval variant, and based on the Eagle project for the cancelled F6D Missileer. Both were based on the idea of long-range, slow cruise non-maneuvering missile carriers to counter long-range bombers carrying low-flying cruise missiles. It had no use for close range air superiority.

The Firebird is also a really cool muscle car that, I'm sad to say, is no longer made :-( LOL
I always feel like I get a lesson on one thing or another when I stop by to check out your blog LOL :-)

Wow i had no idea. I loved that show Knight Rider. I just had to watch it all the time and i wanted a car like that when i got old enough to drive. Unfortunately i haven't been able to find one that will drive for me or talk to me. I think that would be so cool. Thanks for the info.

there are a car or two may be, i think BMW made those, which actually have computers that talk to you. But these computers can only welcome you with your name and deliver few functional messages, they dont actually talk to you intelligently. Hopefully in a decade or two we will have cars with intelligent computers.
and till that time hopefully the money tree in your backyard will start blooming too :) and i will be able to borrow few $ to buy the supersonic aircraft above, certainly without those phoenix missiles :))

i think the bird is a myth and does not exist at all.

I will be happy to give you some money once that moneytree starts blooming. :)
