I mean it's not completely out of the question. They used science, not some kind of shamanistic ritual to determine these things. Egypt, Mesopotamian, Greece, they all used these means to predict events. |
Magnetic forces? Do you mean gravity? How does magnetic (or gravitational) influence from space influence plate activity, and where is it demonstrated that the Mayans understood this? And it's notable that both Mayan astronomy and their calender were deeply intertwined with their religious beliefs, and so the gap between "science" and "shaministic ritual" is much smaller than you probably think.
If we remove the Mayans and the bullshit from the equation, then I suggest you examine the records on seismic activity in the Pacific rim before you decide there's been an increase. It's called the Ring Of Fire for a good reason, and you may well find that it's no more active now than it has been at many other points in the past.
