Legendary animal thread and their origins.
Starting with the Huma bird. What sort of bird is a Huma bird? It is refered to near the start of Rory Stewart's book, The Places in Between, about walking across Afghanistan.
That has to be some sort of celestial-electrical phenomonen. There is a bit of a similarity with our phoenix too.
What is the egg made of? Planet? Ball lightning? Comet?

The Turquiose Mountain is a bit iffy too. That has got to be the legendary Green Mountain/Mount Zion/Mount Olympus/Arthur's Seat transposed to a real place by local custom.

There is a reference to a giant buried in Afghanistan a little further on in the same book, in the chapter titled These Boots.
St Ulya. Described as ten feet tall. Would be interesting to go an ultrasound of the grave.
Herat Sha'ede outside Herat in Afghanistan.
