collectively called a tsunami, on Jan. 28, 1700. Because no Japanese earthquake warned ...

I have always wondered how historical dates from "exotic" cultures are converted to our current gregorian calendar.
Is there a magic repository somewhere that translates ancient dates from say Maya, ancient China, Cambodia, Japan, Korea, etc?
I suspect that even two close cultures like Japan and China kept their own provincial calendar systems.

And as the European calendar has changed over time, all those cultures also probably had occasional changes.
So how is all this sorted out?
