Looks like a Phoenix....the phoenix is associated with all sorts of myths, legends, etc. At least that's what it seems....
I live in Phoenix, AZ (there are several other Phoenixes) and have seen many, many versions of a Phoenix bird. And the general version is more stork-like in wings and beak, and has some suggestion of fire. Maybe that's just a local convergence. The Chinese also have a traditional Phoenix which looks nothing like either this bird or our phoenix.This one has hawk wings and an unaerodynamic tail. Reminds me more of a Thunderbird, an Indian motif.
Interesting... what do YOU think it means in Kazakhstan?
Dunno. Our Phoenixes (Phoenices?) reflect the classical story about a singular bird that resurrects itself by laying an egg in a fire. Seemed natural to the early settlers trying to get started in the heat. This bird is drawn more like an arrow, or sword, and has a snake tongue or perhaps a snake in its beak, so it seems like a different story. Perhaps the "sword" is really a runway. It seems to end in a tunnel under the pyramid. It's interesting to look at it on Google Earth so you can zoom out and see all of Astana.
Crazy.... and yes; it was quite fascinating to check it out on satellite view.....!!
