"Galactic center"
the Maya chose the start date for their long count so that the alignment of the Sun with the Galactic Center will occur on the end date -- what does this mean? As two points determine a line, is the Sun not always in alignment with the Galactic Center? Or does it mean that the Sun, the Earth and the Galactic center are in alignment? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mzellers (talk • contribs) 15:46, 13 May 2004‎ (UTC)


 * I don't know, and I'm very skeptical of that statement. Unless there is some explanation/clarification I will remove it from the article and move it here to talk. The Maya calendar articles and the Aztec calendar articles, IMO, are something of a mess at present, and I've so far been reluctant to jump into the major work they need. -- Infrogmation 16:02, 13 May 2004 (UTC)

As no objection or expanation has appeared since, I've moved the above statement from the article to here. -- Infrogmation 21:23, 26 May 2004 (UTC)
