As far as ancient man knowing the positions of the sun, how do you think astrology works? When the zodiac sign is Leo where do you think the sun is? It obscures Leo because the sun lies in Leo. Do you think that the ancients needed computers to figure that out?
Before you spout do some basic resea4rch and find out about the post and its context.

Andreas Fuls has determined a new correlation for the Haab and Gregorian calendars. The new correlation takes into account positions of Venus and newly found and translated Mayan texts. The Fuls correlation puts the end of the Haab calendar at either 12-21-2220, 12-22-2220, or 12-23-2220. Regardless of the indeterminancy of the exact day the Haab doesn't wrap for 210 years from now.
Original Dutch about Fuls
What I was wondering is, even though they are only aligned from OUR POINT OF VIEW, does this
happen often like in that picture?
But I guess it's okay for you to post pictures to make a point, even though if someone does even a little bit of research they will realize your picture totally destroys your point

Don't you feel foolish saying this when the answer I posted addressed the question.
Next time read before making a scene.
I am now thoroughly convinced you did so to try and harbor doubt towards my discovery
National Geo... about Fuls
...Andreas Fuls from the Technical University of Berlin was one of the scientists I spoke to during the production of the show, and he applied a quantitative approach to the problem by running thousands of computer simulations that shifted the Maya calendar recorded in the Dresden Codex up and down the Julian calendar until the errors between astronomical observations in the two calendars was minimized.
The result is a ~200 year error in previous attempts at correlating the Maya and Julien calendar! With the new correlation that at least Andreas Fuls believes would be more correct, it looks like the serious droughts of the A.D. 800s did NOT cause the demise of Mayan civilization and the end of the 13th Baktun and therefore the calendar would not occur until 2212! Not every Maya scholar shares Andreas’ opinion but if he was right, I guess National Geographic will have to make another film about the Maya in about 200 years!

Dates converted using the GMT correlation fall roughly in this eclipse season. The Dresden Codex contains a Venus table which records the heliacal risings of Venus. The GMT correlation agrees with these to within a few days which is as accurately as these could have been observed by the ancient Maya.

Another personal attack by little bunny. Can you do anything else?
The original information I had access to was not in English. I posted a link I could find. The link provided by little bunny is not the same information I posted as crudely suggested.

You are right it is the same info. Your post was so poorly worded that I never bothered to click on the link to check. My bad. Next time I won't trust your write up.

That is so disgustingly laughable its sad as hell. Just like posting a link in Dutch was laughably sad. Here it is in English if anyone wants to read it.
