The Long Count calendar is significant for utilizing a modified base-20 scheme. It identifies the date by counting the number of days from August 11, 3114 BCE. When expressing Long Count days, the second digit (from the right) counts up to 18 before resetting to zero. Because of this, the software clearly shows that 0.0.1.0.0 does not represent 400 days, but rather only 360 days.
The Tzolk'in is an ancient 260-day calendar. It's a crucial part of the Maya civilization, and it's fascinating to observe the long-standing traditions still in use today. The Tzolk'in works together with the Haab' (a 365-day calendar), forming a synchronised cycle that lasts for 52 Haabs, known as the Calendar Round.
