  Hello. I just ran into the same issue.
  
  For comparison, look at JSON instead: 
http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q16931292.json
  There, the "value" object contains the following fields:
  
    time: "+1498-06-22T00:00:00Z"
    calendarmodel: "http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q1985786";
  
  This means that JSON contains the original value, together with the calendar 
model to which the value corresponds.
  
  I do understand the logic provided by @Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE. However, as 
developer, I missed the fact that in RDF, the `wikibase:timeValue` field 
contains the converted-to-Gregorian value instead of the value corresponding to 
the calendar - contrary to what JSON does.
  
  As developer, in certain situations, I'd like access to the original - 
unconverted - value, to faithfully extract the value entered in the user 
interface. This does not seem possible in RDF at the moment.
  
  I propose to add a field `wikibase:timeValueCorrespondingToOriginalCalendar` 
(better name to be discussed).
