EGYPTIANT PHOENIX

11 September is the beginning of the coptic year and it is the extension of the ancient Egyptian year

The beginning of the ancient Egyptian year when the famous Dog Star, Sirius, returned within the eastern sky fair some time recently dawn after a few months of imperceptibility , the phenomenon called Heliacal rising of Sirius
They moreover watched that the yearly flooding of the Nile Stream came before long after Sirius returned.

Also the Myth of phoenix as per ancient Egyptian is related to the regeneration and cycling of the life

In this photo from the white desert we can see Sirius and the SeaGull Nebula

Indeed the ancient Egyptian priests observed Siruis to determine the beginning of the new year, but they didn't know -as we know till now - that the seagull ( phoenix like shaped ) is near sirus
