I don't think the Mayans left any such writing on why their calendar ends/resets then. Apparently even the "galactic alignment" he mentioned actually already occurred in 1998. In his book "Galactic Alignment" he wrote "Early on in my research, I recognised that the solstice-galaxy alignment would occur around 1998 or 1999".

The sad fact is, we know almost nothing about the Mayan culture. Almost all of their writings were completely destroyed in the name of Christianity as well as many of their citizens. I remember reading somewhere that there are only like 5 or 6 Mayan documents that survived which now reside in museums.
Yeah... Chalk another great victory up to religion.
