Yeah... but were the Mayans in the U.S and/or Canada?

I really did mean what I asked (if you don't read too much into it
(like the fact that there was no U.S. or Canada before the

I think the Incas had the concept of zero as well: just don't tie a knot.

I don't understand your John Shay reference.
