What is amazing about that stuff.

All calendars and times are merely conventions created by men to help folks stay on the same page. The numerical coincidences are also the creation of men using that particular numerical system.

There is no cosmic connection to them. To suggest there is seems a bit like regarding the "Roadrunner" cartoons as documentaries.

In the evolution of the Universe mankind has pushed a "start" button without knowing when it really started. Completely arbitrarily.

How people can assume there is some "real" meaning beyond utility boggles the mind.
