Why is the Mayan calendar going to end?
Because that is how it works. Every time one part of their calendar ticks over, another part adds on; when that ticks over, the next part adds on too. this goes until all the parts are 'full', so the only way to tick over the last part is to start again. Thus the calendar does not technically end, but actually resets itself.
