Paseo Yortuque - Chiclayo, Peru - Atlas Obscura
Stroll among dozens of statues depicting pre-Columbian kings, gods, and supernatural beings.
That site describes it as "Morrop rules the land of the dead."
I don't understand Spanish and google results in English are crap. I don't know if the statues are serious, tongue-in-cheek, or both.
Why does Spanish Wikipedia make the title of animal articles their Latin names instead of their common name? Like "Perro" redirects to "Canis familiaris"
Cuz we have a shitton of ¿dialects? and so a shitton of sinonyms for every single thing, among them, animals; so they picked the scientific name which doesn't change. Unless they discover a local population of a species is actually a different species, but that's a special case.
Every spanish wiki article has section describing how that thing is called in each spanish-speaking region. Of course, "perro", "gato", "vaca" are probably universal, but anything beyond that has many synonyms.
Also, spanish wiki has entries referring to common names which include lots of different species, for example "lechuza" (owl) https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lechuza
