9 Bactuns (periods of 400 years, each of 360 days). 8 Katuns (periods of twenty years); 0 Tuns (years). 0 Uinals (Maya months of twenty days). 0 Kins (days). It thus records the lapse of 3760 years from the beginning of the Maya chronology. The Mayas did not count any period of time until it was completed, that is to say, their sign for the first day of a month was 0. So if written in our style these glyphs would read 1. 1. 3761.
