[edit] Gray stork bennu
Different birds-(species) represent the "Bennu-bird"
This "bennu-bird", from the Book of the Dead, is quite striking-(gray stork). (Papyrus of Ani).
It should be noted that because of Ancient Egypt's long timeframe of history, and different regions, and the "fashion of the time", that multiple explanations, and importance of the Bennu ebbed and flowed. I know the explanation of the Bennu with the BenBen stone goes back to the "beginning" dynasties, but I think with the Papyrus(the Paper-equivalent), and the many Books of the Dead, in their color-portrayals, (as opposed to the wall paintings in color), there possibly was a resurgence of the Beauty of the Bennu-bird. (This rebirth could be a pun, but I don't mean it as such.) I do think this (Now Non-stub article) shows the variety of uses of the Bennu bird, over a range of times.
When some categorization, or assessment–(of this article) comes along, I hope there is a way to put things into a Category/Style of: Multiuse/ or Multi-interpretation, along the lines of how the "Usage of Ancient Egytptian Amulets" must have also been "Multi-used", by different People in different regions, at different time-periods. (And I added the hieroglyphs a year ago, on an article that was very short. It now looks pretty nice, and it covers a lot of ground in its (synoptic)-explanation, ... from the beginning dynasties down to post-Book of the Dead time.)
