No. It's supposed to be reborn when, on the morning of the winter solstice, the sun rises through the birth canal area of the milky way, which only happens every 26,000 years.
And the calendar doesn't end either, it just rolls from 12 Baktuns to 13 Baktuns on 12-21-2012.

Id say it may happen before due to a nuclear war.
The Effects of Nuclear War.
The power of nuclear weapons is almost beyond comprehension. The bomb that the US dropped on Hiroshima was a 15 kiloton device, with the explosive power of 15,000 tons of TNT. Many of the warheads in the worlds nuclear arsenal are rated at 50 megatons, or 50,000 tons of TNT. Even a small nuclear weapon rated at a single megaton can produce temperatures tht exceed the the heat on the surface fo the sun. Instantly, such heat will vaporize anything close to the bomb and unleash a firestorm that will consume everything for ten miles in every direction. The bomb also generates a shockwave that extends outward, destroying everything in its path and drawing debris upward into a giant mushroom cloud. In the days that follow, radioactive debris rains down over a vast region. Some scientists clain that exploding even a few nuclear bombs at one time would draw enough debris and dust into the atmoshpere to block the suns rays from reaching the planets surface. This blockage would remain for months or even years, triggering a nuclear winter. Dropping the earths atmoshpere by as much as 50 degrees F. The result semidarkness and subfreezing temperatures, together with radiation from nuclear fallout, would be sufficient to kill most of the earths vegetation and wipe out animal life.If hundreds of nuclear bombs were ever used in war, life on earth might end entirely.

Some say the Mayans were simply hoping that they would become enlightened enough to transcend this world, much like the Olmecs supposedly did ( if you believe the story of the disappearing Olmecs ).

Mayans definetly did predict an end...
and I do admire their skills and talent immensely...
but the end they saw was an end of the world the way it is now...the end of an era...
...it might be a new beginning;)

According to armageddon,Israel is supposed to split and there is supposed be a world nation. Israel is going through the procedings of splitting Israel between the Jews and palistines. They are speaking about making a world army to bring disputes to a disclosure when they happen such as in Israel. So Maybe.

I believe it will be the begining of another type of consciousness/awareness, that's all. However the world will supposedly stop rotating for a certain amount of time and continue to rotate in the other direction.
