corn and the Mayans

I looked into corn and the Mayans to see if there was any new information found. I am thinking of taking a trip down there because I want to look at their art and see if there is anything indication their process. If we saw it we wouldn't understand it, we would think they are just watering it. This cucumber was able to overcome it's growth point, accelerate a third faster, and has produced so far 9 cucumbers to the gardens one, with 6 more on the vine. This is more than likely the process they used to create corn from grass and is one experiment I will be running in the spring.  Corn is probably not the only crop they altered and many of our typical crops could have been engineered using this method.  https://phys.org/news/2011-08-corn.html
