The mayans had calanders one of which was called the longcount. something like every 1000 years (maybe a little bit less) the long count would go through a baktun which is like a year kind of. so 2012 will mark the end of the 13th baktun which is the end of the longcount calender. however it was people like the Spaniards then and the Americans now who said that since the calender is done it will be the end of days. but the mayans did not predict this. they have predictions for dates going as far as 4927A.D. so all in all it was not the mayans idea that the world would end but other cultures interpretation.

The idea that the Mayan calendar predicted the end of the world in 2000 is a misconception. The Mayan Long Count calendar simply marked the end of a cycle, not the end of the world. The December 21, 2012 date associated with the Mayan calendar was misconstrued as the end of the world, but the calendar itself does not predict the end of existence.
