Possibly, but most Mayan records were destroyed centuries ago by the Spanish conquistadores. Certainly the Mayans had the math and the technology to predict lunar eclipses, as did the Druids of Stonehenge and the Greeks, Egyptians and Babylonians. Eclipses are fairly east to predict. The ancient Greeks built a pocket calculator to do the job.

Yes, many pre-industrial civilizations including the Greeks, Egyptians, Sumerians, Mayans and Druids knew about the patterns of eclipses. In fact, the English megalithic ("large stones") monument of Stonehenge was built as an eclipse predictor.
