Yes, there was a whole panel on an interior mural at Chichen Itza that showed the Maya engaged in a naval battle with Vikings, but it was too politically incorrect, so it was sent to Mexico City to go into hiding.

I respectfully doubt that. The Maya didn't build boats, and couldn't have fought a naval battle to save their lives. Not to mention that no Mayan cities - none whatever - had a harbor.

The Maya did, of course, build large boats including ocean going freight carrying vessels, including ones Columbus met in Honduras but which came from Yucatan.

To say nothing of small ones, how does he think they got from Yucatan to Cozumel, Isla Mujeres, etc.?
