Simurg is immortal bird nesting in the branches of the tree of Knowledge. Burton equates it to the Scandinavian eagle endowed, according Younger Edda, the omniscience and nest in the branches of the universal Tree, called Yggdrasil.

"Talaba" (1801) Southey, and "the Temptation of St. Anthony" (1874) Flaubert mentioned Simurg Anka. Flaubert brings it down to the position of the servant of the Queen Belkis, describing how the bird with an orange metallic wings, with a human head, with four wings, barred claws, with great peacock tail.

Ferdowsi in the "Book of kings", where are gathered and described in verses ancient Iranian legends, called his foster father of Zala the father of the hero of his poems. Farid-ad-DIN Attar in the 13th century elevates him to the likeness of divinity.

This is described in "Mantik-al-Tire" ("Conversation birds"). The content of the parable, which consists of about four and a half thousand couplets. Living far away, the king of birds Simurg drops somewhere in the center of China magnificent feather. Birds, which apostili disputes are resolved to find him.

Many palomnikov gone rogue, and others killed during the flight. Thirty same, achieved thanks to the works of purification, descend the mountain Simurg. Finally they saw, and then they realize that they are the "Simurg", "Simurg" - that each of them and all of them together.

Al kazvini in his "Miracles of creation" claimed that Simurg Anka lives of seven hundred years, and when he has a teenage son, the father kindles a fire and thrown into the fire. As noted lane, that's like the legend of the Phoenix.
