The Bennu bird being the mythological Phoenix of Egypt, was associated with the rising of the Nile, resurrection, and the sun. Because the Bennu represented creation and renewal, it was connected with the Egyptian calendar. Indeed, the Temple of the Bennu was well known for its time-keeping devices.
According to ancient Egyptian myth, the Bennu had created itself from a fire that was burned on a holy tree in one of the sacred precincts of the temple of Ra. Other versions say that the Bennu bird burst forth from the heart of Osiris.
The Bennu was said to have rested on the sacred pillar that known as the benben-stone. The Egyptian priests showed this pillar to visitors, who considered it the most holy place on earth. We hope you enjoy the rebirth of the Cafe.
