Photorealistic Thunderbird in Ancient Egypt

Ultra-detailed photorealistic scene of a colossal thunderbird in ancient Egypt. The bird has iridescent gold, azure, and emerald plumage, with crackling white-blue lightning along its wings and a piercing solar-red eye. It perches atop a weathered sandstone obelisk inside a sunlit temple courtyard. Background features distant pyramids, the Nile, papyrus reeds, and limestone walls carved with hieroglyphs and solar disk motifs. Priests in linen robes and nemes headdresses watch from the shade. The desert is warm golds and ochres; the sky glows with a sunset gradient of orange, pink, and purple. Dust motes drift in volumetric light; feathers show fine detail and gilded temple accents gleam. Cinematic, 8K realism, shallow depth of field.
