Hi All,
The History Channel in their "
Decoding The Past" Tv series did an episode on the Mayan Calender.

Besides the typical historical back story of the Mayan Calender itself. It makes two scientific correlations that are indirectly related to it, even by chance.
1) On December 21st, 2012 the day the current age of the Mayan Calender ends. Is also the very same day astromony (not astrology) states our Sun will align with the very center of our Milky Way Galaxy. Knowing astronomy 101 that in the very center of all galaxies lays massive black holes. With the Mayan mythology about the underworld at the very center of our Galaxy. How the two avatar like brothers saved their father from trickery in a bad deal with the Underworld overlord. It's depicted in that basketball slash soccer game that the Mayan's created long ago.
So our Sun may have inscreased solar activity, possibly causing a record number of droughts or solar flames to the Earth. If not other strange theoretic gravitional pulls being in alignment with the very center of the Milky Way.
2) Is a Earthly geological event they called "
Procession". Where every 25,800 - 26,000 years our Earth does a full rotation on it's axis. Thus the Earth
tilts to a new orbit on its axis slightly. Where it completes this full rotation on December 21st, 2012.
Some concerned or exagerrated voices state a magnetic pole shift could occur. Or that this is a component to why "
Climate Change" is happening. Since the Earth is adjusting gradually to a new orbit on it's tilted axis. Which in relation to our moon will have rebounded effects to the tidal wave balance or what not.
