Why? It's no different from someone new looking at our calendar and seeing that it ends on Dec. 31st. Woahhh something terrible's gonna happen then! Nope. Us, like the Aztecs, had no apoloclypse predictions within our calendars. They just had longer spanning calendars, eons, that they couldn't be bothered to keep working out where they would end indefinitely. So they just made an arbitrary time for this one to end. They weren't using any sophisticated science to work this stuff out. It would have been one guy using crude astronomy and writing down a number based on what he felt like.
