The next paragraph is just sarcasm, arguing to the contrary but being just as clueless as those who invent these predictions of doom.
The Mayans said: "Hey we gotta carve a calendar into some rock and put it someplace hard to get to where we can maybe sacrifice some humans to keep the gods off our backs (the economy stinks). Let's not make it so heavy we can't move it where we want it. OK guys: what size stone and what can we fit on it ?"
Seriously though, it takes a bit of effort to really explain the subtleties of the meaning and method of using this calendar.
Here's a nice explanation, if you're really up to it (yawn):
