Supporting citation for public claim

Maya sources document sophisticated calendrical and unaided-eye observational astronomy; this does not make them records of modern astrophysics.

Answer / theory: Yes, especially in calendrical and unaided-eye observational astronomy. What supports it: Dresden Codex tables, inscriptions, Xultun calculations, and modern scholarship. What is weak or disputed: The word “advanced” should not be stretched into modern astrophysics. Evidence level: Strong Evidence.
