There are no Mayan prophecies associated with the end of the long count calendar.

The Mayan stuff as rubbish by the fact that they failed to predict their own demise. How can anyone of credibility predict the end of the world but not their own end earlier. And to be sure, they did not predict the end of the world, they stated a date as the end of their calander like 2000 was the end of the previous millenium for us, and boy didn't the freaks come out about y2k then! dates come and go, freaks stay with us.
Despite the publicity generated by the 2012 date, Susan Milbrath, curator of Latin American Art and Archaeology at the Florida Museum of Natural History, stated that "We have no record or knowledge that [the Maya] would think the world would come to an end" in 2012.[32] "For the ancient Maya, it was a huge celebration to make it to the end of a whole cycle," says Sandra Noble, executive director of the Foundation for the Advancement of Mesoamerican Studies in Crystal River, Florida. To render December 21, 2012, as a doomsday event or moment of cosmic shifting, she says, is "a complete fabrication and a chance for a lot of people to cash in."
