The Incans were very big on a shape that we later termed the "southern
cross" . If you draw this figure
on a map, about 450 miles across or so, you'll find that the most important
Incan villages lay on each of the corner points, with the largest ones
on a line going exactly 45 degrees NW/SE. But if you think
that's impressive, you can also plot all the lesser important cities on a
map, and find out that they are laid out in such a way to spell out the
words "Mayans Suck".
