No, there is no evidence to suggest that the scientist misread the Mayan calendar. The Mayan calendar is a complex system that has been interpreted by scholars and researchers with varying interpretations, but there is no definitive evidence of a misreading.

Is there a documentary on the history of the calendar especially the Gregorian calendar?
No. Although there have been a lot of documentaries on many subjects including the Mayan calendar, no one has yet made a documentary on the Gregorian calendar, one of the most used documents on the planet. Not even PBS or the History channel.
Have the Mayans ever been wrong in the calendar?
Yes. The Mayan calendar is based on a combination of 260-day and 365-day cycles. The 260-day cycle appears to be based on an astronomical observation that is only valid for the latitude at which they lived and doesn't have much practical use. The 365-day cycle is obviously based on the solar year, but it does not account for the fact that the solar year is actually 365.2425 days, so it accumulates error, relative to astronomical observations and also relative to the seasons, at a significant rate. Incidentally, the Mayan "Long Count" calendar repeats approximately every 394.3 years. It does not have an end.
How many leap years have there been since the Mayan civilisaton?
The Mayan civilization is generally considered to have flourished from around 250 AD to 900 AD. Leap years, defined by the Gregorian calendar as years divisible by 4 (with some exceptions), began in 1582 when the calendar was introduced. Since the Mayan civilization ended in 900 AD, there have been approximately 1,123 leap years from that time until 2023, assuming we consider leap years from 900 AD onward.
What does the Aztec calendar say about 2012?
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
Are the Mayas right or wrong about 2012?
The problem with the theory on this is modern man is reading into it. Every year our calendars end with the new year, and so it was the same with the Mayan calendar . It just ended. Had their civilization lived further there would have been a new calendar .

What year did the mayan calendar start?
The Maya Calendar's base date is 3114 BC, however it is widely accepted that this must have been for mathematical and calendric utility as opposed to actually representing the date at which the Maya's began recording events or even had a calendrical system. This is a central part of their long count calendar system, which was used in conjunction with their Sacred Round and Solar Year which formed their short count calendar.

How many calendar do we use in the world?
The Gregorian Calendar has become the standard civil calendar used worldwide. It was introduced by Pope Gregory and took hundreds of years to be accepted as a global standard. Before that, the Julian Calendar, introduced by Julius Caesar, was the civil and religious calendar used in Christian lands. The Julian Calendar is still used in the Eastern Orthodox Church and a few other places. The Jewish Calendar, Islamic calendar, Hindu Calendar and Chinese Calendar all serve to set the dates of festivals celebrated by their respective communities, as well as being used for various other purposes. Various indigenous groups around the world may also have calendars, but to be a formal calendar and not merely a way to recon time, it needs a system of recording dates, which is to day, calendars are for literate cultures. One important calendar is left out above: The Mayan calendar. It is no longer in use, having been forcefully replaced by the Gregorian Calendar when the Conquistadors invaded, but it has been decoded, and you can find software to convert between Gregorian and Mayan dates.
