the Mayan calendar did not account for leap years, seeing a leap year is a Gregorian calendar concept

1. Why didn't you Google this?

2. Why does it matter? According to their culture/history/Xoc, the whole "end of the world" schtick is modern BS.

3. No, they didn't observe leap year, doesn't matter though:

The BS comes from the Maya Long Count Calendar, which is literally just counting the days:

Not even mentioning that the Mayans could see a lunar eclipse thousands of years in the future, I just wanted to add that tidbit. :)

Who says I didn't? Who says I needed to?

2. Why does it matter?

It doesn't. Sometimes I post questions for entertainment purposes.
