<h4 class="card-title">How do the Haabʼ years work?</h4>
<p class="lead">In the traditional Mayan calendar, Haabʼ cycles are unnumbered. To help uniquely identify
every screen, I introduced year numbers, with the date of Mayan creation as &ldquo;year 0.&rdquo;</p>
<p>In my system, the year number increases every time 0 Pop rolls around, with year 0 being defined as the
year containing Mayan creation date (0.0.0.0.0 in the Long Count). This means that creation happens on 8
Kumkʼu in year 0, and the year continues until 4 Wayebʼ, after which the date is 0 Pop in year 1.</p>
