I will enjoy the day knowing that the Mayan's didn't factor in leap years, leading to the world not ending that day.
Quote:
The Mayan long count calendar is based on days, not solar cycles.. Because of that, leap days are irrelevant.... yes, the Mayan calendar did not include leap days. But, it didn't need to, since they didn't have anything to do with solar years. In fact, as you can see, the closest equivalent Mayan period to a solar year, a tun, is only 360 days — already five days off.
