A creature so vast it can block out the sun, the Ziz is a mythical bird whose wings stretch across the heavens, protecting the world from scorching winds. This colossal, shadow-casting guardian lives between myth and reality, often glimpsed in the form of towering shadows and half-remembered tales. Sailors have nearly drowned in its wake, and its eggs are said to cause destruction on a cosmic scale. Yet, this bird isn’t just about size—its celestial music and role in the end of days weave it into the fabric of the universe. Discover the Ziz’s story, from its towering presence to its cosmic purpose, in this episode.
