You never want to overstate things, never want to blow them up out of realistic proportions or make them bigger than they actually are, but sometimes . . .
In the early stages of Egyptian mythology, there was a bird with feathers of scarlet and gold. They referred to the oversized eagle, undersized pterodactyl as a phoenix. A bird that flew to the “City of the Sun” (Heliopolis) to immolate itself on the altar of the sun’s fire only to rise from those ashes to become a younger version of itself.
