Milo,

It would be helpful if you provided the exact citation, and more details
about this article.

I have already mentioned that the work of David H. Kelley (DECIPHERING THE
MAYAN SCRIPT, 1976) was very important in establishing the connections
between the Mayan and the Indian zodiacs/calendars/day names. Another big
name is Paul Kirchhoff.

Best,

Yuri.
