After reading all of the posts so far, I must say I am quite disappointed at the shallow, dismissive behavior exhibited by many of you. Either you are:
a) So very afraid of the concept that the Mayans predicted an event that might affect your cozy little arrogant world.
b) So wrapped up in the current science that your mind is a closed box unwilling to admit that an ancient civilization could have had any sort of astronomical ability.
Those who have studied the Mayans knows their calendar doesn't just end in 2012. They actually did predict major astronomical events occuring which would have devestating effects on the planet. I'm not saying we should all believe this and dig a bunker, but for Pete's sake have a deeper, more well-informed discussion that I know you all are capable of doing.
