[Aztlan] No Apocalypse Maya in 2012

In your latest post you said in part..

snip .....That 134d period residual is the interval from an Aug 13 Izapa
vertical sun transit and a December 21st winter solstice in any given solar
year with a 4d offset. That is one of the primary keys in establishing how
the Long Count was originally inaugurated. ...end snip


I am confused as to why you have the words "with a 4d offset" in the above
quote and what it (an offset) has to do with the distance between any two
calendar dates.  To my mind, if the distance between Aug 13 and December 21
is 134 days (I did not check)then it is 134 days and no 'offset' can
possibly effect that fact just as no offset can affect the distance between
Monday and the next Wednesday.

I ask only because you said " That is one of the primary keys in
establishing how the Long Count was originally inaugurated."  Would you
please explain the reasoning behind the inclusion of the words "with a 4d
offset"?
