If the Mayans really could predict the future, there would still be Mayans.

Or perhaps they were so good at predicting the future they were not able to predict the future.

Kinda blows your mind right there.

Or they did predict it, but didn't like it, so made their own by dying.

Or perhaps they predicted the actual end of the universe, and decided it didn't bear thinking about.

Or aliens stole them to be their personal prophets, and they will eventually come back as Eldar.

Most clearly unimpressed with the Mayans and their so called "Apocalypse."

Perhaps the fact they are not around anymore kinda makes their ability to deliver on their prophecies moot.

There are Mayans today. They just don't have their own nation anymore.
It's the Incas and the Aztecs who are no longer around.
