In Latin America they have a special cult of Santiago
Matamoro, or Saint James the Killer of Muslims. In Huancayo in the
middle of Peru they make street fiestas in his honour. They have a
figure of Santiago on a white horse and they dance around it.
Apparently all August there are street fiestas like that.

Ancient Australian painting
One can see these in some caves in Kakadu National Park in the Top End of Australia.
Nobody really knows when these pictures were created. Some say a few thousands years ago, but nobody knows for sure.
Nobody really knows what for either. Some anthropologists say they have very important ritual meaning, although nobody knows for sure. They could just as well been painted by stone age hooligans on the walls of stone age habitations.

on end and they seem never to end – well, there aren't many places
in the world where you can see that.
