Oh, he also claims that we will pass through a "Dark-rift" for about 60-70 hours, and doesn't know the out-come this is going to have on earth..

Now, as far as I can tell, there is no "Dark-rift" that is in the path of the earths orbit around the sun. Around then.(Agreeing with Maksutov, this guy is not a top-notch Astronomer.)
I can't claim expertise about the Mayans (though I did study them in college), and god forbid I speack against a Mayan elder, but this sounds like hogwash. I studied Mayan astronomy, I do not recall any indication that they knew what a galaxy was or that it had a center to align to, and I do not recall anything about a "dark-rift". I think Don Alejandro has spent too much time with new-agers on the internet, and not enough time studying Mayan codexes.

Just my humble opinion.
