how many civilizations calender ends on 2012?

- Start date
None of them ends with finality in 2012. The Mayan Long Calendar cycles in 2012; they had dates for later than 2012, so it's unlikely they thought the world was going to end. The Chinese calendar doesn't end in 2012 either. Don't know about the Aztec calendar, but I'm pretty sure it also doesn't end in 2012.
Planet X is make-believe. That's correct; if there were a planet headed our way in 2012, we'd have spotted it long ago.
Edit: I see someone with 5 Y!A IDs and an agenda about the 2012 thing has been watching this thread and thumbs-downing all the sensible answers. There's one born every minute...

Only the long count of days instituted by the Mayans, who used more than one calendar for various purposes. That may have been adopted later by the Aztecs and perhaps the Hopi got it from them. The long count rolls over in December 2012 but Mayan inscriptions do not predict anything for that date, except maybe party time. In fact, one inscription mentions a king being remembered in our 4722AD, so there was definitely no prediction from the Mayans.
The Chinese calendar does not end, it just keeps adding years. Check Wikipedia or some RELIABLE source, not some rubbish site promoting this apocalyptic drivel.
Web bots. Yeah,. right. Back in the 1960s or even the 1950s computer operators had a little acronym, "GIGO". That meant "Garbage in, garbage out".
Planet X does not exist. It was invented in about 1994 by Nancy Lieder who claimed she had been abducted by aliens and warned by them that a stray planet would damage the Earth in mid 2003. She started a web site to spread the word and goes on paid lecture tours.
When X did not turn up on time, she transferred it to 2012 to fit the nonsense that had already been invented about 2012 by woo-woos like Jose Arguelles and Mark Hazlewood. You can keep on making money that way.
There is nonsense about X only being visible from the southern hemisphere. Well I live in Australia and nobody here has seen it, with or without telescopes and there are plenty of telescopes in Australia, big ones, too.
The other excuse is that it is behind the Sun. I have been answering these questions for nearly 3 years and that planet has been loitering there for at least that long. Planet's don't loiter, particularly when they are close to stars, gravity sees to that.
If it was going to hit in late 2012, it would already be visible - obvious, even.
This is all fraud to make money, abject delusion and superstition. Good on you for asking for the facts.

None; most roll over into a new era, if at all.
There is no such planet X as far as we know now.

As has already been repeatedly stated, no calendar ends in 2012. All that happens is the Mayan calendar rolls over, just as ours did at the millennium.
The myth that other calendars do the same thing is something made up to reinforce the false "significance", in the knowledge that the gullible would not check it up. Well you heard the story and you did not check it up.
What does that make you?

My calendar will end on Dec 31, 2012. It will probably have pictures of dogs or turtles on it. I don't think it means that the universe will end on that day, but I'm sure someone will try to scare kids by saying that it will if they think they can generate some income by doing so.
Er... sorry. The real answer is "none".
The Mayan calendar *does* *not* *end* in 2012. The Aztecs used the Mayan calendar. The Hopi didn't have any specific dates in their 'end of the world' mythology that I could find. The Chinese calendar also does not end in 2012. Just ask the Chinese, they'll laugh at you.
The web.bot thing is a self-fulfilling prophecy. The thing reports that "something significant" is going to happen in 2012... because the web is full of 2012 drivel. I'm an IT person, but even a layman should understand GIGO (Garbage In, Garbage Out). If you feed a computer dreck, you'll get highly refined and categorized dreck out. The fact that some 2012 proponents have seized on this is just evidence that they'll believe anything that fits their preconceived notions.
Yes, we would be able to see those objects if they were coming at us. Since we don't see them, what does that tell you?
