[Aztlan] Classic Maya Unit of Length

[Bob Patten]

The Maya elite used 1.144 mm per unit to incorporate special values in 
sacred objects. Synodic cycles are frequently recorded by dimensions. At the 
site plan level, multiples of 360, 365, 584 and 949 are common. Body part 
equivalences were adopted for measures of convenience much as we use a pace 
to represent a yard.
