Excerpt from The Maya Year
An examination of the codices has shown that the months referred to in the time series contain twenty days, each day having its distinct symbol and all numbered as above stated; and that eighteen months were counted to the year. If, therefore, it can be shown that the year used consisted of 365 days the system of the codices will be brought into complete harmony with the authorities referred to.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the origins and development of the Maya calendar, which was one of the most sophisticated systems of timekeeping in the ancient world. The author argues that the Maya calendar was based on a year of 365 days, which was divided into 18 months of 20 days each, with five additional days added at the end of the year. The author also discusses the four year-series, which was a system of rotating year-bearers that was used to track the passage of time. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Maya calendar or in the broader study of ancient Mesoamerican cultures.
