How it is worked outMaya Calendar

Your birth date becomes a Julian Day Number and is tied to the Long Count with correlation 584283, which matches the calendar still kept in highland Guatemala. From it come the Tzolk'in (13 by 20, 260 days), the Haab (18 months of 20 days plus 5) and the Long Count date. All of it is whole-number arithmetic.
