Exploring Maya
Information
The Maya Empire, centered in the tropical lowlands of what is now Guatemala, reached the peak of its power and influence around the sixth century A.D. The Maya excelled at agriculture, pottery, hieroglyph writing, calendar-making and mathematics, and left behind an astonishing amount of impressive architecture and symbolic artwork. Most of the great stone cities of the Maya were abandoned by A.D. 900, however, and since the 19th century scholars have debated what might have caused this dramatic decline.

Yes, indeed, they do that also.

yes that is correct...I think alot of people confuse the Mayans with the Aztecs.

Well, the Mayans only predicted that that cycle would end, and a new one would begin, but everyone misunderstood their so called prediction.
They predicted nothing, they just had a calendar that ended at that time and needed to have a new one prepared, which they never did, while living here.
