I make one smartalecky remark and spark a debate. :-)
I think of the Islanders as more South Pacific than South American. The
Adventurers Jungle didn't do a particularly good job with the Incan/Mayan

should do a few Mayan buildings since that's one of the few ancient stone
building types I've actually been to (Chichen Itza and Tikal).
