The Julian calendar was probably closer to the ancient perspective than the Gregorian and a similar kind of structure could have been applied when the Mayas documented their fundamental dates which corresponded to our 28 May and 21 May.

... the Palenque scribes repeated Creation again and described it as 'it was made visible, the image at Lying-down-Sky, the First-Three-Stone-Place'. Then we learned that five hundred and forty-two days later (1.9.2 in the Maya system), Hun-Nal-Ye 'entered or became the sky' (och ta chan). This 'entering' event occurred on February 5, 3112 B.C. The act of 'entering the sky' is recorded on another extraordinary painted pot.

This pot depicts one of the Hero Twins (One-Ahaw in the Classic texts and One-Hunaphu in the K'iche' Popol Vuh) and a great bird who is trying to land in a huge ceiba tree heavy with fruit. This mythical bird is Itzam-Yeh, Classic prototype of Wuqub-Kaqix, 'Seven-Macaw', of Popol Vuh fame. In that story, in the time before the sky was lifted up to make room for the light, the vainglorious Seven-Macaw imagined himself to be the sun. Offended by his pride, the Hero Twins humbled him by breaking his beautiful shining tooth with a pellet from their blowgun. This pot shows One-Ahaw aiming at the bird as he swoops down to land in his tree. As Itzam-Yeh lands on his perch, the text tells us he is 'entering or becoming the sky'. This particular 'sky-entering' is not the one mentioned in the Palenque text. It is the final event that occurred in the previous creation before the universe was remade. Before the sky could be raised and the real sun revealed in all its splendor, the Hero Twins had to put the false sun, Itzam-Yeh, in his place. If the date on this pot corresponds to that pre-Creation event, as we believe it does, then Itzam-Yeh was defeated in 12.18.4.5.0 1 Ahaw 3 K'ank'in (May 28, 3149 B.C.). After the new universe was finally brought into existence, First Father also entered the sky by landing in the tree, just as Itzam-Yeh did ...

And the star positions at the time of Bharani were apparently *29 (= *70 - *41) right ascension days later than those when Itzam-Yeh was defeated. Therefore we can assume he was defeated (cfr Ca4-19) when the Full Moon was 50 (= 350 / 7 = *54 - (84 - 80) nights after the Julian equinox in 25 March, i.e. when she reached Canopus = Agastya. Which implies Itzam-Yeh corresponded to Phaeton.

... One morning Helius yielded to his son Phaëton who had been constantly plaguing him for permission to drive the sun-chariot. Phaëton wished to show his siters Prote and Clymene what a fine fellow he was: and his fond mother Rhode (whose name is uncertain because she had been called by both her daugheters' names and by that of Rhode) encouraged him. But, not being strong enough to check the career of the white horses, which his sisters had yoked for him, Phaëton  drove them first so high above the earth that everyone shivered, and then so near the earth that he scorched the fields. Zeus, in a fit of rage, killed him with a thunderbolt, and he fell into the river Po. His grieving sisters were changed into poplar-trees on its banks, which weep amber tears; or, som say, into alder-trees ...

... 'From now on', said Father Sun, grieving over Phaeton, his fallen child, 'you shall be Mink'. What meaning can this have for us? For such an understanding between men and men, and other living creatures too, we would need the kind of help King Arthur had at hand: 'Gwryr Interpreter of Tongues, it is meet that thou escort us on this quest. All tongues hast thou, and then canst speak all languages of men, with some of the birds and beasts.'

The first 3-stone place ought to have been close to where the Full Moon reached Betelgeuze (when Zuben Elgenubi culminated). Time went withershins because the Moon moved in the opposite direction compared to the Sun. She rose in the west and descended in the east. Therefore 28 May (Itzam-Yeh defeated) should come before 21 May (the first 3-stone place).

The last creation took place in 13 August, in day 225 (= 15 * 15), and in the C text this place was probably 225 - 148 (28 May) = 77 (cfr Ca4-1) nights beyond Canopus, viz. at glyph number 95 + 77 = 172, i.e. at the 3rd marama in the exceptional 6-glyph sequence - possibly alluding to Tau-ono, the 6 (ono) stones in the early part of the Pleiades:
