However, this destruction or cleansing is just a translation (or mis-translation) because obviously some mayans survived from age to age to pass on the stories.
the age's also line up with certain very real celestial events, such as the earth's alignment and crossing of the galaxial plane which may cause a pole shift (both of which have happened before at about the same time)
Alignment and crossing of the galaxial plane?? I think I'm gonna have to call BS on this.

Pole shifts may have happened before, but it would have been due to large physical events here in Earth, like asteroid impacts, tectonic shifts, or massive shift of the ice shelves........Not because of some intergalactic thing.

Everyone talks about "alignment of the planets" or "alignment of the galaxy" like as if it imparts noticeable gravatational effects on our planet. It doesn't.
