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.
