According to Wikipedia:
The Mayans were pagans and worshiped demonic entities. There are similar examples in the Bible of how the Israelites sometimes chose to worship the Gods of the Canaanites & Ammonites (etc) who practiced child sacrifice and other unholy rituals. What was the result of the Israelites' decision to follow the practices of these pagan cultures? The answer is destruction and captivity.
Friends, please consider the things that you are writing, thinking, and believing. Please consider the activities in which you are participating. Eliminate completely all pagan beliefs and practices from your life; including, the use of the Mayan calendar.
The Mayans did not receive their knowledge from Jesus Christ. They received their abilities from Satan. When you place a belief in what is of Satan (the Occult, Witchcraft, Psychic Phenomena, etc) you are allowing him an entrance into your life. The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 6:15-18,
Friends, please separate yourselves from the beliefs and practices of this world. Please consider using God's Word, the Holy Bible, as your source for truth. If an idea is contrary to what seems to be understood in the Bible, I recommend that you take very careful consideration prior to your accepting this concept (etc).
The devil wants to isolate you, rob you of life, and utterly destroy you. We make it easy for him when we accept his lies and live an unrepentant lifestyle. Please be advised...
The Maya practiced human sacrifice. In some Maya rituals people were killed by having their arms and legs held while a priest cut the person's chest open and tore out his heart as an offering. This is depicted on ancient objects such as pictorial texts, known as codices (singular: codex). It is believed that children were often offered as sacrificial victims because they were believed to be pure.

And what accord has Christ with Belial (Satan)? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said:
“ I will dwell in them
And walk among them.
I will be their God,
And they shall be My people.”
Therefore
“Come out from among them
And be separate, says the Lord.
Do not touch what is unclean,
And I will receive you.”
“I will be a Father to you,
And you shall be My sons and daughters,
Says the LORD Almighty.”
