Davenant or *d'Avenant, Sir William (1606 - 1668) Poet & playwright,
born in Oxford, Oxfordshire, SC England, UK. His father kept the
Crown at Oxford, at which Shakespeare used to stop between London &
Stratford - hence the rumour that he was Shakespeare's illegitimate son.
In 1628 he took to writing for the stage, his most successful work
being The Wits (1636). In 1638, he became Poet Laureate, and
was later manager of the DRURY Lane (PHOENIX) Theatre.

EGYPTIAN MYTHOLOGY - BENU
EGYPTIAN MYTHOLOGY - BENU
http://www.crystalinks.com/phoenix.html
In ancient Egyptian mythology she is associated with the SUN god.
She is called "BENU" / "the Ascending One".
<<The BENNU bird was an imaginary bird resembling a heron. It had a two
long feathers on the crest of it's head and was often crowned with the
Atef crown of Osiris (the White Crown with two ostrich plumes on either
side) or with the disk of the SUN. This name apparently was being
associated during the earlier periods of Egyptian history with various
birds: the crane, the heron, the stork or the flamingo. Later it was
more clearly identified with the heron.

She was a kind of primordial god, which built its nest
on the WILLOW which is on the top of the primordial
hill.
The BENNU was the sacred bird of Heliopolis. BENNU probably derives from
the word weben, meaning "rise" or "shine." The BENNU was associated with
the SUN and represented the ba or soul of the SUN god, Re. In the Late
Period, the hieroglyph of the bird was used to represent this deity
directly. As a symbol of the rising and setting SUN, the BENNU was also
the lord of the royal jubilee. The BENNU was also associated with the
inundation of the NILE and of the creation. Standing alone on isolated
rocks of islands of high ground during the floods the heron represented
the first life to appear on the primeval mound which rose from the
watery chaos at the first creation. This mound was called the BEN-BEN.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The BENNU was associated with the inundation of the NILE
and of creation.
The BENNU bird is said to arise
'at dawn from the waters of the NILE'.

July 16, 622 NILE inundation

Eqyptians of the Pyramidic noticed that the beginning of
the NILE inundation occurred annually about July 16th
with the heliacal (i.e., with the SUN) rising of Sirius.
(The Muslim lunar calendar starts with Mohammed's journey
from Mecca to Medina on July 16, 622.
1001 SOLAR years later the First Folio was published.)
Two ARABIAn eclipses occurred on eve of RAMadan,

At about 1 PM on
May 30, 1593 (Gregorian) London
experienced a
partial eclipse of the SUN while VENUS was in conjunction with SATURN.
The path of the total eclipse started in South America, passed over
the Sahara and ended in ARABIA. Barely a year later (May 20, 1594
{Gregorian}) another total eclipse rose (PHOENIX like) out
of ARABIA (between Mecca to Medina) and passed over the
(former) empires of Tamerlane and Nebuchadnezzar.

it abounded in Bacharia. It resembles the winged Bull of Assyria,
the Sphinx of Egypt, the Simurgh of Persia, the Garuda of India, and
the Roc of ARABIA in that it was so huge it could BLOT out the SUN.>>

us (Lib. II. c. 75 et seq.) in that
country: one quite black, the other
black and white. The former is credited with fighting and exterminating
the winged SERPENTs which came every spring from ARABIA and infested the
country. The other was sacred to the moon, because the latter planet is
white and brilliant on her external side, dark and black on that side
which she never turns to the earth. Moreover, the ibis kills land
SERPENTs, and makes the most terrible havoc amongst the EGGs of the
crocodile, and thus saves Egypt from having the NILE infested by those
horrible Saurians. The bird is credited with doing so in the moonlight,
and thus being helped by Isis, as the moon, her sidereal symbol. But the

representative of the SUN-god's self-creating power (Breasted, p.72).
But the PHOENIX's cosmic identification was by no means exclusive to the
SUN. In the Middle Kingdom, for example, the PHOENIX was also said to be
the soul of Osiris, as well as the moon and sometimes the 'morning star'
i.e. Venus (Rundle Clark, p.246-9). The PHOENIX thus was symbolic of the
rebirth at dawn not only of the SUN-god but of cosmic beings in general.
In The Book Of The Dead, Chapter 83 entitled 'Spell For Becoming The
PHOENIX (BENNU) Bird', the PHOENIX claims: "I am the seed corn of every
god..." (Rundle Clark, p.249). His power of self-creation clearly
symbolised the emerging (rebirth) of celestial bodies (gods) at dawn
from the underworld, the tenebrous land of the dead below the horizon.
The prevailing theory on the design of monumental true pyramids is
that their shape was modelled on the BENBEN: a conical-shaped stone
venerated in the 'Mansion Of The PHOENIX' at Heliopolis (pyr. 1652). The
'Mansion Of The PHOENIX' was presumably within the precinct of the Great
SUN Temple of Heliopolis, but there is evidence, however, that the
BENBEN was worshipped there well before the SUN cult of Ra (Baines,
Orientalia 39, 1979, p.391). The stone was probably originally
associated to Atum, a much older deity who was mainly identified with
the act of Creation via his masturbation (Baines, ibid., p.391, fn.2).
Atum was later assimilated to Ra, as Ra-Atum. Though it is often
recognised that the older, step pyramid design is the product of a
predominant star cult (Edwards, p.292; Badawy, p.205), it is
nevertheless widely advocated that the 'true pyramid' design which
succeeded the 'stepped pyramid' design reflects the solar ideas induced
by the powerful SUN cult favoured in the Pyramid Age. The solar ideas
supposedly dominated the stellar and Osirian cults from the 4th Dynasty,
when the true pyramid design was introduced (Breasted, pp.101-2). Many
have therefore claimed that the BENBEN stone was symbolic of the SUN.
James H. Breasted, an instigator of such claims, noted the similarity of
the word 'BENBEN' with the word 'BENBENet' (the pyramid-shaped apex
of an obelisk) and accordingly declared that "an obelisk is simply a
pyramid upon a lofty base which has become a shaft." Breasted also
speculated that because "the obelisk, as is commonly known, is a symbol
sacred to the SUN-god...[it followed that] the king was buried under the
very symbol of the SUN-god which stood in the holy of holies in the
SUN-temple at Heliopolis" (Breasted, pp.70-3).
An example of stone-worship is the much venerated blackstone kept
in the Ka'aba shrine in Mecca, Western Saudi ARABIA, which is
thought by geologists to be a meteorite recovered in antiquity
(A further discussion on sacred meteorites will be found in
"The Fetish Of Ammon and Alexander The Great:
an investigation on the meteoritic connection"). >>
