Bennu

This time of the year things often refer to myths especially connected to ancient Egypt where we find Jesus, among others. Before Christmas each year you will read about archaeological discoveries linked to Jesus, Christmas, and related myths. Egypt and Bennu of course take us to a whole slew of characters played by Z which include a pantheon of Gods and of course Jesus himself as the end of one experience segues into another or so the stories go. Personally I feel it's all going to Fade to Black. Computer End Simulation!

In mythology the Bennu is the Phoenix a mythical sacred firebird that can be found in the mythologies of the Egyptians, Arabian, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Chinese, Hindu, Phoenicians, Mesoamericans, Native Americans, and more.


In astronomy Bennu is a carbonaceous asteroid in the Apollo group discovered by the LINEAR Project on September 11, 1999.

Today on December 3, 2018, the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft arrived at the asteroid Bennu after a two-year journey.
