Nothing. The so-called 2012 "doomsday" is based on a misinterpretation; that's when the Mayan calendar "resets". Sort of like on December 31, when our own calendar "ends".

The Mayan calendar does not predict the end of the world. The misconception that it did was a misinterpretation by popular culture. The Mayan calendar is a complex system used to track time cycles.
