Historical Evidence(Moderate evidence)

Britannica: Garuda is a Hindu deity depicted as "the king of the birds" and the mount (vahana) of Vishnu. The Mahabharata describes Garuda as so massive he can block out the sun. World History Encyclopedia: Garuda carries Vishnu through the skies. Combined with Anzu (Sumerian), Thunderbird (Indigenous), and teratorns (paleontology), the cross-cultural persistence of the "giant rideable bird" motif is remarkable.
