I just saw an exhibit of Mayan culture and artifacts at the Royal Ontario Museum on Thursday, so yes, I do know where they are.
There was a nice display that showed that the magic date of 12-22-2012 isn't the end of their calendar, it's just when they flip it over to a new page. (A page is approximately 394 years.) Their calendars were engraved on large stones however, so flipping one over was inviting disaster anyway.

"I saw to what extent the people among whom I lived could be trusted as good neighbors and friends; that their friendship was for summer weather only; that they did not greatly propose to do right; that they were a distinct race from me by their prejudices and superstitions."
