Phoenix Mythical Creature

Experience the wonders of Ancient Egypt through an engaging Ruby exercise to practice building hash data-types!
In this exercise, you will explore the mythology of the legendary Phoenix, Bennu, as he follows each pharaoh throughout multiple kingdoms: Narmer the Unifier, Khufu the Builder, and Tutankhamun the Child.

As you work through this exercise, you will gain a deeper understanding of Ruby programming and Test-Driven Development (TDD) while immersing yourself in the rich culture of one of the world's most intriguing civilizations. Inspired by the mythical_creatures collection of exercises created by the Turing School of Software & Design, this is a great way to expand your skills and learn about the ancient world!
