Ancient Maya people used three independent calendars for
different purposes.
Long count calendar is for recording historical events.
It and represents the number of days passed
since some date in the past the Maya believed is the day
our world was created.
Tzolkin calendar is for religious purposes, it has
two independent cycles of 13 and 20 days, where 13 day
cycle days are numbered, and 20 day cycle days are named.
Haab calendar is for agriculture and daily life, it's a
365 day calendar with 18 months 20 days each, and 5
nameless days.
The smallest unit of long count calendar is one day (kin)

cycles. Long-count date is writtin in dot separated format

every 13th baktun, but modern researchers often use longer cycles
such as piktun = 20 baktun.
