When Flynn and Nicole reach the temple in the jungle, Flynn refers to an astronomical phenomenon that "...circles the galaxy every 26,500 years...". The duration of a galactic year (the time it takes for the solar system and the stars in our vicinity to circle the galactic center once) is approximately 225-250 *million* years.

When stuck in the Mayan "death chamber", Flynn says that the Mayan pyramid that they are in is an exact replica of Teotihuacan. There are multiple pyramids at Teotihuacan and that site is Aztec, not Mayan. The architecture is quite different.

In Shangri-La, Edward jacks the action of his handgun three separate times without ever firing it. Loading a round into the chamber once would have been the most needed.
