That's not true at all. Their calendar was not accurate, nor were their astronomical observations that accurate. The latter was due to the limited instruments they had available to them.

How convenient that your link makes no effort whatsoever to show that the calendar has the accuracy claimed. How convenient.
So I think your link is worthless. Also, the calculation on that page for the Gregorian calendar is wrong. You knew that? Looks unlikely.
The variation for the Gregorian calendar is .0003. The variation for the Mayan Calendar is .0002. Small numbers until you start working with periods of time greater than 100,000 years or so, which is what the Long Count is doing.
I don't see you providing any links to back your BS also.
You might want to stick to playing with your stereo instead of attempting to debate someone with a clearly superior intellect. Just a tip so you don't embarrass yourself anymore.
