Ah, the comedy of prophesied genocide. Hooray.

There was more detail, something about nine cycles of hell of 52 years each or something. Not that that particularly clears anything up but there you go.
And the Spanish Army wasn't all that large. There was only 600 of them but the Natives didn't want to upset them, thinking their firesticks and paella indicated their godliness.

To the day though. They got the prediction right to the day.

the sun will engulf the earth long before it goes supernova.

Too bad yellow dwarfs don't become supernovas.

I was just about to point out that the sun is too small to ever go supernova. The smallest a star could be and go supernova is 1.44 solar masses (the Chandrasekhar limit). The sun will eventually become a white dwarf type star.
