Who knows why there wasn't another calender. People in other areas of the world (Latin America, Cuba, etc) had plans to celebrate this. Only us doomsdayers were fearing this.

I'm to lazy to look it up again but apparently a bunch of conspiracy theorist originally pegged March 2003 to be the original 2012 with Planet Nibiru colliding with the Earth and destroying everything. When the date passed the movement somehow moved the collision date to 2012 and linked it to the Mayan Calender.

They like to say that NASA is covering it up but with thousands of astronomers looking at the sky every night it would take a hell of a cover up.
Right now the biggest threat to us space wise is an asteroid named
Apophis which is 5 times the size of the one that took out the Dinosaurs. It is projected to pass or hit us in 2029 and again in 2036 if it misses the first time. The chances though are really low like
2.7% at the highest and the second pass is much less likely to hit then first.
There's also a neighboring star that could have gone Super Nova centuries ago and if it exploded a certain way the radiation from said super nova would kill us due to excessive Gamma Radiation. Both doomday scenarios are very unlikely.

As far as Nibiru is concerned there's
no evidence to suggest it even exist.
