The Maya Calendar's base date is 3114 BC, however it is widely accepted that this must have been for mathematical and calendric utility as opposed to actually representing the date at which the Maya's began recording events or even had a calendrical system.
This is a central part of their long count calendar system, which was used in conjunction with their Sacred Round and Solar Year which formed their short count calendar.
