I'm not discounting prophecies but think this calendar business is just the dude got tired of chiseling or was laid off due to the Mayan economy.
Rock cutters had unionized and were striking for more benifits, and less work.
No new rocks were arriving because the rock movers were also striking to support their cutting brothers
Then the Spanish arrived, with paper, and the entire rock economy collapsed.

Actually the Aztecs collapsed when the priests put a stop to the human sacrifices.
