The Mesoamerican Long Count calendar is a non-repeating, vigesimal (base-20) and base-18 calendar used by several Pre-Columbian Mesoamerican cultures, most notably the Maya. For this reason, it is sometimes known as the Maya (or Mayan) Long Count calendar. Using a modified vigesimal tally, the Long Count calendar identifies a day by counting the number of days passed since a mythical creation date that corresponds to August 11, 3114 BCE in the Gregorian calendar 1] The Long Count calendar was widely used on monuments.
In 2012 the Maya calendar starts over. As a result you can start by using the calendar Montezuma used. Of course, you may choose to use the standard calendar instead of following the Maya calendar.

The Maya calendar system is complex and consists of multiple cycles. To convert today's date to the Maya calendar, one would need specific information such as the Long Count date and the current Bak'tun, k'atun, tun, winal, and k'in cycles. Without this information, it is not possible to determine today's date in the Maya calendar.
Around 500BC
Nothing causes the Mayan calendar to end it is just the end of one cycle and the start of another one. Much the same as the new year in the Gregorian calendar. It's just a longer cycle.

The Maya calendar marked the movement of celestial bodies, particularly the sun, moon, and Venus, to track time and important events such as religious ceremonies, planting seasons, and harvest timings. The calendar system was highly sophisticated and integrated into various aspects of Maya society and culture.
