The Calendar System!There are three!
Tzolk’in: 260 days !
(20 days x 13 months)!
Used in order to plan rituals!
Haab: 365 days deterined by
solar cycle!
Long Count!(Long story)!
Calendar Round!
Tzolk’in = 260 days !Haab = 365 days !
Takes about 52 years to repeat!
(No world-ending consequences.)!
Calendar Round!
TODAY:!
Tzolkin: 8 Ik !
Haab: 10 Yak!
The Calendar Round date is determined by 4 factors:!
1) A cycle of 13 numbers, as part of the tzolk’in !
2) A cycle of 20 day names, as part of the tzolk’in !
3) A cycle of 18 months + a 5 day addition, as part of the haab!
4) A cycle of 20 numbers (0-19), as part of the haab!
