The Mayan calendar was made up of several interconnected calendars used to track time for religious festivals, agricultural cycles, and astrological phenomena. The two primary calendars were the Haab, a 365-day calendar similar to the solar year, and the Tzolkin, a 260-day calendar based on a combination of numbers. These two calendars combined in a "calendar round" to form a calendar cycle of 52 years, at the end of which the calendars would synchronize again. The Mayans also used a longer calendar cycle called the Calendar Round to track centuries and eras.

The Calendar Round The full name of any date in the Mayan calendar system consists of a Tzolk’in date and a Haab date. The Calendar Round is the interweaving of the Tzolk’in and Haab calendars. On the Calendar Round, a combination of the Tzolk’in and the Haab will not repeat until 52 periods of 365 days have passed. This is based on the mathematical concept of “the least common denominator” and “the least common multiple”.
2. It is worth its name, a calendar, that is, a Mayan numbering system that was used to measure time. In the case of the Mayan culture, this calendar was made up of several calendars that were measuring time according to different objectives and, specifically, what we understand as the Mayan calendar, for what it was used was to know the dates that were most propitious to proceed with the sowing and collection of the harvested food, in addition to taking into account the religious festivals.

7. They were terrifying days where misfortune could stalk anyone. That is why it is considered the calendar most related to the Mayan religion and its beliefs.
8. On the other hand, the calendar wheel that joined the two Haab and Tzolkin calendars, allowed to calculate the culmination of a century, so that each end of the cycle in the wheel, implied a change of the century or of the Mayan era.

10. As for the date of its completion, it is estimated that it could be December 21, 2012 AD. Very recently.
11. And if you are of a minimum age, you will remember the boom that was given to the end of the world because in 2012 there were prophecies about it that related the end of the Mayan calendar to the end of the world.
12. The discovery was made at the Mayan site of Xultún, in Guatemala. The calendar is the first to be discovered on the walls of a building and not on paper, and it is painted on the walls of a small room that researchers believe could be from a place where astronomers used to gather. 13. The Mayan Calendar is a system of interconnected astronomical cycles and rituals, which were created with mathematical calculations.
14. The Mayans developed their calendars based on the astronomical observations they made, thanks to the temples they erected and added to their developed arithmetic and numerical system, the Mayans were able to establish repetitive astronomical phenomena, such as the lunar, solar and the cycle of the planet Venus, from which they based their calendars.
