The Maya calendar system records a series of recurring cycles of time based on the movements of the Sun, Moon, and planets. A complete Maya Long Count cycle is 5,125 years long. The Long Count calendar keeps track of the days that have passed since the mythical starting date of the Maya creation, August 11, 3114 BCE. The basic unit of time is the day, or k’in. 20 k’in = 1 uinal or 20 days, 18 uinal = 1 tun or 360 days, 20 tun = 1 katun or 7,200 days, 20 katun = 1 baktun or 144,000 days. The Long Count date is written in column format, with cycles of time as follows: 12.19.19.17.19 , baktun.katun.tun.uinal.k’in .
