+ Ancient Maya people used three independent calendars for

+
+ The long count calendar is for recording historical events.
+ It 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 the long count calendar is one day (kin).

+ """ The long count calendar uses five different base 18 or base 20
+ cycles. Modern scholars write long count calendar dates in a dot separated format
+ from longest to shortest cycle,
+ <baktun>.<katun>.<tun>.<winal>.<kin>
+ for example, "13.0.0.9.2".
