Yep, a calender tends to start over. There were a series of holy dates that odds are would have been reached which have been lost to the tides of time.
But yep, nokmirt I think everyone on here in civfanatics knew this already
. Any basic research, Maya Priest, even the Popol Vuh would explain in pretty simple terms that our calender was used for a multitude of purposes and that "end of the world" is something which did not exist in Maya tradition.

Its one of the main reasons I am a big proponent of telling people to read the Popol Vuh. Gives them a basic information/learning of Maya traditions/culture/religion etc.
Time repeats, whats new? Thank you for the link though. I am sure murals like this are not limited. You hear legends, or at least legends my grandfather told me about that there are more stuff like this out there. Families who have pieces of pottery or people who saved pieces of our history are always rumored to exist. I honestly believe we will find stuff in private collections or local families over time (additional codices, pottery, etc. that will continue to shape our view of the Maya)
