Mascotian Calendar

History of the Mascotian Calendar
The modern Mascotian Calendar was originally created by the ancient Ctenid of the Proto-Mascotian Age, and was perfected by the Gmagma people of the Archaic Mascotian Age. It is still in use today, and has the same symbols corresponding to the months as they did in the ancient times of the Gmagma.

The Technical Stuff
The Mascotian Calendar is a curious one. Like the Earthling calendar of old, it is split into years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds, and so forth.

The lower measurements of time such as hours, minutes, and seconds are identical to the old Earthling measurements. But when one graduates up to days and past, things get confusing.

32 Hours --> One Day (16 Daytime, 16 Nightime)

8 Days --> One Week

Three Weeks --> One Month

Sixteen Months --> One Year

The Years
Once the years become tens of millenia, they turn into great timespans. Here are the great timespans:
 * Pre-Mascotian Age: 13,750,000,000 B.C.E. ~ 2,526,320 A.D. (*Measured in Earth Years)
 * Proto-Mascotian Age: 01-PRT (2,526,321 A.D.) ~ 72,000,000-PRT
 * Archaic Mascotian Age: 01-RKA (72,000,001-PRT) ~ 750,000-RKA
 * Modern Mascotian Age: 01-M (750,001-PRT) ~ 11,380-M
 * Mortal Mascotian Age: 01-MTL (11,381-M) ~ ∞
