Arsalan,
There are 2 concepts in Timeline that are related to what you want to do:
1. Unit: Each timeline has a single unit, which is by default
milliseconds and all the usual Javascript date functionality works with
it. The dinosaurs example shows how to use a different unit--million of
years:
2. Ether labeler: Each band of a timeline has its own ether labeler,
which renders labels on that band. The default labeler can render at
different intervals like year, month, day, hour, etc. You can have
labelers that render other kinds of label, such as the age in years of a
person (top band):

or the years of a king's reign (top band):

If that doesn't suffice to get you started, let us know what sort of
calendaring system you would like to implement.
Cheers,
David
