There could be several possible reasons why they ended it on that date.
The most likely is that they extended the astronomical cycle as far as they could, assuming the same periodic trends that existed during their observations. They may have intended to extend it later after further observations, but their civilization ended before that could happen.
They ran out of ink.
Well, the world ending in 2012 was some superstition, the Mayans wrote a calendar for every year before 2012. The world ending was some big joke because the Mayans didn't make a calendar for 2012, so people thought that that's when the Mayans thought the world was going to end.
The Mayans created a calendar that only goes out to 2012. Some people have interpreted that as saying that the world will end in 2012.
nothing about this particular question has been proven
According to the scientist, they kind of believe so. They found an ancient calendar that belonged to the Mayans. The Mayans predicted that the world would end on December 21, 2012.
The Mayans predicted on their calendar that the world would end in 2012
The Mayan calendar ends on the year 2012. Although the calendar does not say the world will ind in 2012 many people believe the calendar ends that year because the Mayans predicted the world would end that year.
The mayans are from the past. So yes, they did end the calender.
The Aztecs didn't make predictions about 2012 (as far as I'm aware), the whole frenzy about 2012 is due to the Mayans, who predicted the end of the world during 2012. The Mayan calendar did not predict the end of the world, it was the end of the Mayan 'Great Cycle'. Had the Mayans still been around they would just have started another one. I agree
No the world is not going to end in 2012. Wanna know why? Well please listen closely. The Mayans were supposed to be like ok in smartness. And one day some of our explorers found a calendar made by the Mayans that ended in the end of year 2012. Its not true I'm pretty sure they would mark on the the calendar somewhere that the world was going to end because heck yeah that's important so it probably just where the Mayans stopped making their calendar.

The Mayans.
