Strawman.

Osmanagich is not a Mayan that believes he's from the Pleiades.

The idea that Mayans came from the Pleiades by way of Atlantis is not extant in ANY Mayan writings.

Osmanagich is a quack that makes up things about other people's cultures. That has nothing at all to do with anyone's religious belief about themselves, does it.
