 Rise of the Phoenix, Part 2
Apparently, the Bennu was attempting to capture one of the brilliantly-colored frogs of the Oasis with his long, elegant beak.
Subsequently, the Bennu's headlong rush carried him forward much too far, and in an attempt to extend one long, graceful leg to support his weight, he got himself tangled in himself, and, flapping his scintillating wings wildly, he plopped thrashingly into the achingly clear waters of the Oasis.
No. The Bennu is _not_ "ungainly." His legs are long and elegant, but the fact that he cannot _use_ them is to be interpreted as a statement of how we are all unable to live up to our Divine Potential through our own weaknesses and failings.

 The Benu (Bennu) Bird
Related to the verb weben (wbn), meaning "to rise", "rise in brilliance" or "shine" as well as ben-ben, the up thrust sacred stone of Heliopolis, benu (bennu) describes a bird that was an important avian deity.
Originally of solar associations, the Benu bird came to be connected with three important gods consisting of Atum, Re and Osiris.

 Celestial Heavens - All Things Might and Magic
A variant of the story made the dying phoenix fly to Heliopolis and immolate itself in the altar of fire, from which the young Phoenix then rose.
The bennu, a heron, was traditionally associated with sun worship in Egypt, appearing on monuments as a symbol of the rising sun and of the life after death.
But despite the common religious associations, the phoenix as described in literature did not all resemble a heron in appearance, and its home was not in Egypt but nearer the rising sun (normally in Arabia or India, where spices for the nest and egg were plentiful).
