It's the Mayan Long Count calendar, not the Aztec calendar.
And it doesn't end. It just rolls over form 12 Baktuns to 13 Baktuns, not unlike ours rolling from 1999 to 2000 except that a Baktun is about 400 years long. That day in their count is 13.00.00.00.00 and the next day is 13.00.00.00.01. No ending.
On that day, (12-21-2012 on our calendar) there IS an grand astronomical alignment which only happens every 26,000 years and that the Maya saw as the BEGINNING of a new world age. Not the END of this one...which btw has been over for 15-20 years.
Read "Maya Cosmogenesis 2012" by John Major Jenkins for a lot more on this subject. Read my 2012 article on my Jaguar Nights blog or my regular website for other information on that day.

At the beginning of the 19th century, people used to said: "In 2000 the man will arrive to the moon". And it happened many years before. • People talked about the coming of a black Pope and that hasn't happened. • Some "prophets" talked about the end of the world in 1999. • = Do you really believe everything you hear?

I think every other year siganls the end of the world in some calendar or other.
I wouldn't think too much about it, if I were you.

I think Christ will come for the ressurection and all righteous and faithful Christians will go to Heaven and the rest, too bad. Unless, they change now and accept Christ as their Savior, God, Heavenly Father.

If I knew that for sure, I'd max out all my credit cards and live to the fullest until then.
