Yeah right. Our calendar year was a bit off due to Great Emperor Hashflamablapfhten's foolish decree to issue evictions to all unregistered bandits in 1256 BCE. The misunderstanding came from his most trusted Astronomer and Political Advisor, High Abbot Njanktyuivghis, whose records were kept quite impeccable, and whose calendar was kept inhumanly accurate. When the empire of Hasflamablapfhtanizia fell to marauding Vandals, the transmission of their time-keeping was lost as well. However, that which was pillaged and brought back to the now-eminent Catholic church was High Abbot Njanktyuivghis' big surprise - an intentionally wrong calendar system, which the church promptly adopted in its ignorance and tried to pass of as its own! And that is why our calendar, the one we correspond with Mayan prophecies, is at least 73 years off its mark.
