The Mayans

Quotations from "Code of Kings" by Temple Pyramids - "Four sided arrangements generated the square, the other form that the Maya tied to Creation. The square, in fact, resulted when the creator gods arranged the kan tzuk, kan xuk, "the four sides, the four corners," to give shape and order to the cosmos. The gods then raised the great center tree called the Wakah-Kan, the "Raised-up Sky."
