{{BABYLONIANDATE}} gives the date in the Babylonian calendar. The given year is in the Seleucid era. The individual units and component values are returned by {{BABYLONIANDATE/day}}, {{BABYLONIANDATE/leap}}, {{BABYLONIANDATE/month}}, {{BABYLONIANDATE/year}}. The year, month and day can be given as parameters, but if not, they will default to the current date in UTC. The algorithms to derive the date are taken from Calendrical Calculations by Nachum Dershowitz and Edward Reingold.
