The "Mayan apocalypse" isn't an ancient prophecy.
From Wikipedia:
If a storm like the one described in the link had actually hit, then would people really be concerned with these fine differences?
I don't see how a good time for partying and apocalypse are only distinguished by a fine difference.
Anyone who would put a serious thought and effort into reading and understanding ancient prophecies certainly would be concerned about the difference.
Not only that, the interpretation of the time as an apocalypse or otherwise major change in the world was literally made up by a guy on several hallucinogens simultaneously...
