I actually looked at the wiki page, skimmed it. Doesnt actually say the word flat anywhere, I even ctrl+f'ed to make sure.
Id be careful with "modern" mainstream takes on things.
For example, according to modern sources, only one greek god had a flying chariot, that he uses to pull the sun across the sky.
Not true though, each god had their own flying chariot, built by Hephaestus.

Now, all I can find about the mayans is they believed that there was a god at the four corners of the earth, which is drawn as flat.
Now, again, the part I find interesting is not that. Even per your wiki link it says.
A.k.a. They used sticks in the mud to mark and record shadows everyday, for hundreds, if not a thousand, or thousands of years.
Thats all good and dandy, but you expect me to believe that these people, on their own, were able to extrapolate the data when a precession is measured over 10's of thousands of years.
Even if earth was flat, how were the able to build models better than what we can do with computers and modern mathematics?
The interesting part, where did they get the calendars from? A gift of god of course, along with domestication of animals, plants. As well as music and healing.
