Actually, alot of myths are based on reality. The myth of Santa
Claus, werewolves and vampires have their own truths that have just
been exaggerated through time or not totally understood because of
primitive thinking. With werewolves and vampires, the stories were
based on rare diseases that became horror stories. Santa Claus is
basically a creation of Coca Cola from an old (real) story of a
generous man.
The phoenix in a sense is symbolism for recreation in the early
days
of humanity. There are references in the Bible of recreation
littered
around. Basically, it's a primitive version of cloning. You can
take
a DNA sample from someone and clone them, as the phoenix was born
from "it's own ashes".
The Egyptian Era was quite an interesting era, really.
I really don't want to link religion into this book because I
believe
it doesn't have a right to be there. But alot of the resources JK
has
drawn from does have a crumb of reality in there.
I think that Voldemort would hang around where he is strongest.
Unless, his entourage accompany him to Egypt, I think he would be
quite exposed there.
