Ancient world maps deciphered off Mayan Temple
Discovery deciphered off Mayan temple that produce a series of ancient world maps. Maps made in the form of star constillations all over the world. Temples make map. Dragons in Meso America's culture are linked to Draco. Overwhelming proof. I am a Native American stone mason. Maps show another way to read Egyptian, older than hieroglyths. Many parts of maps around world are in water. Help needed.
