Template:MAYANCALENDAR

{{MAYANCALENDAR}} gives the date in three Maya calendars: the Long Count, the Haabʼ and the Tzolkʼin. Each can be given separately through its subtemplates. The year, month and day can be given as parameters, but if not, they will default to the current date in UTC. The algorithms to derive the dates taken from Calendrical Calculations by Nachum Dershowitz and Edward Reingold, which follows the Goodman-Martinez-Thompson correlation.
