Were the ancients aware of the Black Hole at the Galactic Center?

The Greatest God and the Supreme Creator of the Mayans of the Yucatan peninsula was Hunab K u, literally meaning ‘Sole God’ or ‘Only God’. Hunab Ku resides at the center of the Milky Way galaxy and is regarded by the Mayans as the ‘Highest Authority’ of our galaxy.

Think about it: what are you scared of? Something that you don’t like or something unknown to you, isn’t it?
