Roc or Rukh has its roots in many cultures. In eastern mythology it probably comes from the Indian bird Garuda which in hinduism is also identified with the constellation Aquila.
The mythology of the Rukh also probably borrows heavily from the Persian Simurgh.
Marco Polo climed to have seen a Roc in the seas near China. The rocs also exist in the 7 voyages of Sinbad the Sailor that has been added to the 1001 Arabian nights.
