In the year 4,000 BC, a plucky tribe known as the Spaniards settled the Mississippi Delta. 
 
 By 3,600 BC, their scouts, moving west in a straight line - almost as if they knew what they'd find - had discovered three separate strange, wondrous sites: a geyser that spewed hot water from the ground, a massive hole ripped open in the desert, and a mysterious rock formation shaped like an oval. After finding each of the three, a shower of gold from the heavens rained down on the lucky scouts. Each time, Madrid immediately used it to assemble a new set of settlers, and a mighty civilization was born even before the barbarians, awed by the fearsome sight of the settler train, could start leaving their camps. 
 
 By the time the Siamese came upon them hundreds of years later, none of the rest of the globe stood a chance.
