Even the concept of "year" is subject to differing religious and cultural viewpoints, with some
traditions still insisting on a lunar calendar with the corresponding shift of seasons by 11 days each year.
And in one case, the length of a month depending on the weather conditions and the eyesight of the guy who
happens to call the months. Pity the maya calendar didn't catch on. One "day number" wraparound
every 4000 years sounds great (until you are the one who has to fix the coding that assumed it would
"never happen")
Little known fact about the Mayan religion and calendar - you had to
treat the "end" as really, really, being the end.
Their belief system was that the world would end at the end of a cycle,
but they didn't know which one! And if you got it wrong, the ghods
would be very unhappy :-(
So yes, it would "never happen"!!!
