AZTEC CALENDAR Aztec Astronomy and Observation of Nature Solar Alignment The sun's rays shining between the shrines of Tlaloc and Hutzilopochtli atop the Templo Mayor into the Temple of Quetzalcoatl, occured at sunrise on March 21, the equinox
These observations informed many aspects of life-from the creation of the calendars, to the integration of time cycles with the stories of the gods and creation, to structuring of rituals in their proper time and place
For example, the comet seen by Moctezuma prior to the Spaniards' arrival was seen as a forewarning of an impending crisis.) The Aztec Calendars There were two calendar systems used by the Aztecs
The second calendar was a 260 day cycle made up of 20 day signs (named mostly after aspects of nature), and 13 numbers These two cycles can be represented schematically as two intermeshing "gears"
[4 ] On a larger scale still is the illustration of the universal time scale, as the Calendar Stone (or Sunstone)
Estas observaciones informaron muchos aspectos de su vida – desde la creación de calendarios, hasta la integración de ciclos de tiempo con las historias de los dioses y la creación hasta la estructuración de rituales en su lugar y tiempo correctos

The need to control nature is evident in their calendar systems
They had two calendars which when combined formed a third one
The first calendar, the 'Xihuitl', or natural year calendar, was used to measure the agricultural year and provided the basis upon which they performed their ritual to their various gods
The second calendar, the 'Tonalpohualli', was a specific religious calendar
The structure of the calendar was based on a combination of number and sign system that determied the fate of everyone depending on the date of their birth
The Xihuitl and the Tonalpohualli were combined forming a third calendar that was named Xiuhmolpilli (a bundle of years)
The Xiuhmopilli or the calendar round had a cycle of fifty two solar years, the time needed for the two previous calendars to have a coincident beginning

In particular, the work of Diego de Landa presented Mayan calendar glyphs
Landa also reported that the New Year began on 12 Kan 1 Pop in 1553 (Malstrom 1991), a correlation that later proved useful in aligning Mayan and modern calendars
He also provided a calendar with European months correlated with the Native calendar, the names of calendar cycles, and some other hieroglyphic symbols related to European alphabetic signs (Leon, 1994)
Calendars In Mesoamerica a multiplicity of cycles constituted a complex calendar system
These complexities have been useful in deciphering calendar dates
The tzolkin intercalated with the vague year (haab in Yucatec) to produce the calendar round of 52 years or 18, 980 days
The triple classification modules of 13, 20, and 365 provides a unique name for every day in the 52 year calendar round
13, 3114 B.C., or 13.0.0.0.0, with the calendar round date of 4 Ahau 8 Cumhu (Lounsbury 1989)
This corresponds to the year 13 Reed on the Aztec calendar stone (Brotherson 1982)
The calendar round period endings together with names in the tzolkin and the calendar year produces a unique date within a span of 360 calendar rounds, a period of over 18, 707 years

The authors demonstrate how the Mayan Holy Number 1, 366, 560 days, known as the birth of Venus and the basis of their calendar, indicates ancient knowledge of sun spot cycles and their effect on the human race
They reveal that the Mayan calendar prophesies the end of our own "Age of the Jaguar", the fifth and final "sun" in 2012 AD
They counted the days according to two calendars, one a "vague" year of 365 days and the other a shorter cycle of 260 days
Every day had two names, one according to each calendar so that the same combination of names would not recur for 52 years
By a process of extraordinary detective work he cracked the code of the Mayan calendar making it possible for other scholars and explorers to translate the many dated inscriptions to be found on buildings, stelae and other ancient Mayan artefacts
These were so accurate that they put our own calendar to shame
This calendar was divided into "months" or uinals of twenty days, "years" or tuns of 360 days and longer periods of 7200 days, the katun and 144, 000 days, the baktun

Participants were invited to share their own constructions of meaning when engaged in activities related to multicultural calendar artifacts
The research methodology of this study is collective reflection, developed by the researchers in the process of interpreting teacher education student's multicultural calendar artifacts as texts
The article highlights one of the multicultural calendar artifacts displayed in the installation, through hyperlinks to images of the multicultural calendar artifact itself
The three stations of the installation engaged participants in imagining, interpreting, and viewing to construct their own visualized calendars, to have hands-on explorations of student-made calendars, and to view video clips of students' presentations of their calendar artifacts
The calendar artifacts displayed in The Aesthetics of Ethnography: A Moving Triangle were made by our students, enrolled in a Master of Science in Teaching program at Pace University in New York City
We create conditions for them to become conscious of their conceptions of culture through a problematic assignment of constructing a representation of their personal meanings for multicultural curriculum in a calendar format
