Garudas from Champa

This video presents some stone sculptures of Garuda the man-bird from Hind mythology. These sculptures were created in medieval Champa (10th century - 13th century), a civilization that existed in what is now southern and central Vietnam, and are now housed in Vietnamese museums. The artistic styles depicted are called My Son A1 (a 10th century style of elegant forms and little decorative detail) and Thap Mam (a 12th and 13th century style of rigid forms and much decorative detail).

Yeah, this birth seem enjoying eating (snacking) sneak in most of his story. The story goes this way, in animal world, the sneak become dominant, they scare all walking animal, even the tiger. The walking animal so desperate, that request the bird kingdom to help them. Garuda with his army defeat the sneak kingdom, he himself kill the sneak King. i belief this story was part of our government effort to brainwash us :-). But we enjoy it btw. Surely, Champa people is our Brother.
