How did Mayans precisley predict their destruction of the civilization?

Question

According to a Mayan prophecy just before Columbus's arrival to America, "a white skinned gods come from the sea and they will end our civilization" was predicted.

How is this possible? Was it just a pure coincidence, or does the Mayan prophecy really have some sort of supernatural foreseeing?

Answer 1

Have you ever thought of questioning the prophecy?

Where was it recorded so that we know that it was actually a prophecy before the arrival of the Spaniards and other European colonists?

How do we know that it was not something a priest made up after the arrival of the Europeans to try to get the people to resist them more?

How do we know that this is not something that was just made up to tell an interesting story centuries after the fall of the Mayans?

Answer 2

yeah i don't know about that, it's similar to the Aztec calendar, the beginning and ending of their time, but how do we know that.
