Worship of phoenix may start 7,400 years ago

It fits. 7,400 years ago is old and old people seem to worsjip Phoenix. But how did they know that all those retirement communities would spring up so far in the future?

[Graymatter]

How much is that in phoenix years? 15 generations?

Interesting post!! We just got back to USA after a short trip which included Taipei and its National Palace Museum. It is worth a trip all by itself!!!!

Worship Of Phoenix May Have Started 7,400 Years Ago In Central China"

So how it ended up in Egypt? I know chinese traveled but still, how do you explain youre religious believes to someone who doesnt speak youre language?

Paint an image of a bird and burn it and paint it again? Theres something not convining about one origing for the phoenix myth. Unless they knew eachother better than we think.
