Ask them. There's millions of them living in Mexico and Guatemala.
There's no written prediction about this 2012 stuff. It's all extrapolation and most of that done from incorrect information.
The first bit of incorrect information most people think they know is that the calendar "ends" 12-21-2012. It's the start of the 13th Baktun (like our calendar going from 1999 to 2000 except a baktun is 396 years long).
Also on this date, which less people know about, is that there's a grand astronomical alignment between the sun and the Milky Way at dawn which only happens every 26,000 years. This alignment, to the Maya, signified the birth of a new Sun and the dawn of a new age. NOT the end of an old age.

I belive that their calendar only reached up until year 2012. That's why many people assume that it points out at the end of the world.

It has been speculated that people that carry a vibration within themselves, something similar to the teachings of Jesus, will evolve to a parallel existence just as you are living today but absent will be the people that do not carry this vibration. Very similar to what the Christians call being left behind.

The end of the world, and thus far they have been correct in all of their predictions...
