In ancient Egypt the Menet bird was a Swallow, Martin, or a Swift. It appeared to be a ‘day greeting bird’ which announced the dawn and the sun’s approach- Some species of the birds built their nests in holes in the cliffs bordering the Nile- they emerge at dawn and return at sunset.
The Egyptian sun god, Ra or was considered the creator of the world. God of birth and rebirth because he was reborn with the birth of each new day. The sun has been worshiped and revered as ‘The heart of the Universe’ and ‘Destroyer of darkness’, and the creator of energy.
