I sort of was at it for years.
And towards the end, I did a project on anniversaries and figured out that the Maya celebrated birthdays.
Not that they celebrated like when the person was born, but like birthdays.
Like this is your second birthday, your third birthday.
Like I figured out that they celebrated birthdays.
Yeah, that was me.
Uh, I looked at patterns.
So I looked for like patterns in when the dates were.
So I was like, okay, well, when is this person born?
Do we see anything after, you know, one year, two year, 10 years, 20 years, things of that sort.
And it turned out.
Um, and they do, they do death anniversaries too.
So like, oh, when did this person die?
Like, oh, that longest death anniversary.
I think we have is about 200 years.
I was still celebrating this guy's birthday afterwards.
