I read an account long ago that the conquistadors were amused at the habit of Peruvians using coconut shells on their heads to hunt ducks from below the water - the ducks in the habit of ignoring floating coconuts were grabbed by the feet. This was found to be a custom also in China, thousands of miles away. There are some drawings in existence made by the missionaries that accompanied the explorers that show this practice.
That’s how Scrooge McDuck got to be so rich...reparations from Peruvians for killing members of his family.
