The stone in there is the Aztec calendar, also known as the sun stone. One of the best known pieces in the Archeology Museum in Mexico City. It was produced about 700 years after the Maya Calendar in question.

That in itself is a joke inside a joke.

The sun stone does not contain the Bakums of the long count.
