It’s from neither, it’s from egypt. It actually moved to Europe and Asia via trade. It’s a bird that was able to carry the disc of the sun and would be reborn each day with the sun. It’s a heron that carried the sun each day across the sky, it went hand in hand with ra and some sun worship out in egypt. That’s the origin of the phoenix, you’re welcome.
