I recently read about this a few hours earlier. I'm of the opinion that this in no way contradicts the 2012 date, given that this newly discovered calendar is supposedly a more original version which predates the calendar that has been the foundation for working off of. In this instance, this uncovered calendar would prove to be either prototypical, formulated with some knowledge that was either incomplete or needed refining (otherwise why would the Mayans revamp it and create a newer one?) or was made before they received the knowledge of the cycle ending.
Indeed, it does contradict the doomsday scenario, but there was never a 'doomsday' to draw from this date in the first place. Of course it would extend 7,000 years beyond this date, they sought to track the endings and beginnings of various World Age cycles. In any case, it is definitely an excellent archaeological find.
