The Mayan Calendar
What is Maya Calendar actually?
The Maya Calendar is a system of distinct calendars and almanacs used by the Maya civilization of pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, and by some modern Maya communities in highland Guatemala.
*is an annual publication containing tabular information in a particular field or fields often arranged according to the calendar.
These calendars can be synchronized and interlocked, their combinations giving rise to further, more extensive cycles. The essentials of the Maya calendric system are based upon a system which had been in common use throughout the region, dating back to at least the 6th century BC. It shares many aspects with calendars employed by other earlier Mesoamerican civilizations, such as the Zapotec and Olmec, and contemporary or later ones such as the Mixtec and Aztec calender
.
Ancient Mayan Civilization
Aztec Calendar.
The Aztec calendar was an adaptation of the Mayan calendar.
It consisted of a 365-day agricultural calendar,
as well as a 260-day sacred calendar.
Did the Mayas Think A Year Was 365 Days????
Although there were only 365 days in the Haab year, the Mayas were aware that a year is slightly longer than 365 days.
In the ancient times, the Mayans had a tradition of a 360-day a year. But by the 4th century B.C.E. ,they took a different approach than the Europeans or Asians. They maintained three different calendars at the same time. In one of them, they divided a 365-day year into (18) 20-day months followed by a 5-day period that was part of no month. The day period was considered to be unlucky.
