What mayan calendar should i download, and where can i get it? Lets first take a look at the two most popular calendars and decide later.

The Mayans had very advanced calendars, they had the Tzolk’in with 20 days and 13 weeks for a total of 260 days each period.

The Tzolk’in 20 days in order where Imix’, ik’, Ak’b'al, K’an, Chikchan, Kimi, Manik’, Lamat, Muluk, Ok, Chuwen, Eb, B’en, Ix, Men, K’ib’, Kab’an, Etz’nab’, Kawak and Ajaw. A calendar that with with it’s obscure names and 260 days long year seems farfetched at best from the gregorian calendar that we use today.

There was also the long count calendar that counts for thousands of years at a time. This calendar just happends to end on the date of december 21st 2012, and there is alot of controversy and mystery surounding this one, hollywood even made an movie about what could be a doomsday prophecy for this calendar date.

So which calendar should i download?

Well the the made popular Long count calendar holds mystery and one starts to wonder why it should end in 2012? But, the Tzolk’in is a piece of ancient mayan art with it’s beautiful glyphs that resembles the hyroglyphs used by the Egyptians inside their pyramids.

Personally i would recommend downloading them both and taking a look, they both have something special to offer, both the long count calendar and the Tzolk’in can be quite intersesting along with their unique and intriguing history.

Where can i download them?
