They figured the number of days from the start of their calendar, it's incumbent on us, to figure out the leap years and such.

Interestingly, the Mayan's themselves made no special note of the date. No predictions of the end of days, no prophecies of dogs and cats sleeping together, nothing more than we do each December 31st when our calendars roll over.
