Indy gets it wrong

I went and saw the new Indy movie. It's no Last Crusade, and it isn't even Raiders, but it's still fun. I realized after watching it that the basic message of the previous movies is largely intact: whatever it is that everyone is looking for, they can't handle it.

Spoilers to follow.

Still, I was kind of annoyed that they got the origins of the Maya completely wrong. Everyone who watched Nickelodeon as a kind knows that the Maya weren't taught by aliens, they were the remnant of a lost civilization in the Pacific who fought a nuclear war with Atlantis, and that the cities of gold are nuclear power stations left so that the survivors could rebuild. Sheesh, George, get it right.
