 * Due to no agritucltural space in Tenochitlan, the Aztec used Chinampas:
 * Floating islands of crops
 * On these 'Chinampas' they grew maize


 * SOUTH AMERICA **
 * Because of the nature of the steep Andes mountains, the Olmecs had to build terraces for farming
 * On these terraces they grew maize
 * Incas used 'Quipus' to record their maize they held in warehouses
 * Quipus were strings with varying colors attached to a main chord
