"The world was created in the origin year of '0,0,0,0,0.' The last digit is the 20-day period, the second-last is the 18-month period, and all others are 20-year periods. A long count calendar has 144,000 days. When 13 long count calendars have passed, it will herald the end of the entire era. Death brings rebirth to the next era, and everything will change! Perhaps the gods will return and rebuild the Divine Capital, Tikal!"
