Something that's a lot Sentinel, and a bit Stargate, all at the same time

A wonderful story here about a youngster (15!) who via his own research at home worked out that Mayan cities were linked to the position of major stars in constellations. He's being lauded for his tenacity in research, but IMHO it's his logic jumps and abilty to see the big picture - very literally, here! - that are the key.

I saw that story and have recounted it at great length to the kids hoping to inspire them! I wonder if it would work for other ancient civilisations?

Seems plausible that a similar idea might have sparked elsewhere. I hope your lot get started on that asap! ;)
