Funny the Mayans never predicted their own doom at the hands of the spanish. (Too soon?) I don't trust them with predictions, even though there is evidence behind it that there will be huge climate shifts etc., It will suck, but a doomsday, no.
Mayans were amazing astronomers, mathematicians and architects. Predicters of doomsday we will see.
What I find more fascinating is that it seems like humans consistently want the end of the world to come about.
In my Anglo-Saxon english lit class I read wulfstans "sermo lupi" or Sermon of the wolf, and he talks about the end of days as near in the 10th century CE/AD. You see these ideas always popping up throughout history. It's depressing, because it is sort of a perverse fascination with destruction. People say they fear it, but I believe people actually want the end of all life, maybe subconsciously, because clearly they bring it up enough.
