My TBM mother and brother went on an LDS tour in Tulum back in 2010. I am not sure if it was exactly this tour:
http://www.yucatan-revealed.com/Christ-In-Tulum.html, but they confirmed that it was the same information. My BS sensors went off when I read the excerpt below from the site, so I attempted to contact the authors through their Contact Us and Contact Keith (under About Us) functions to request the published source(s) for those claims. My request was respectful and could have easily been interpreted as coming from a TBM, since I mentioned that I did not want to repeat the claims without being able to cite a published source. Needless to say, I never received a response from either contact request.
"The Temple Of The Descending God was built in alignment with both the morning star, or the planet Venus, and the sun so as to mark April 6th as the birthday of the Descending God.
On that day Venus can be seen rising into the night sky directly over the door of the temple and sunlight forms a brilliant star that can be seen only on that day.
This is Extremely significant because Mayan Gods were known by the day on which they were born. And April 6th is the birthday of the Descending God.
It is interesting to note that the Mormon prophet Joseph Smith, who lived in the state of New York, published in 1830 a translated ancient record which told of a personal visit by Jesus Christ to the Americas shortly after His resurrection. In addition, he identified April 6th as the birthday of Jesus Christ. He also identified the ancient name of the city of Zion as being Zama. Zama was the original name for the city of Tulum."
