Tzolk'in

The Tzolk'in is a 260-day calendar used by the Maya civilization, which combines 20 day names with 13 numbers to create a cycle of unique day combinations. Each day has its own significance and is thought to influence events and personal characteristics. The calendar revolves around agricultural cycles, rituals, and religious practices, reflecting the Maya's deep connection to nature. Unlike the more familiar 365-day solar calendar, the Tzolk'in emphasizes the spiritual and cyclical nature of time, representing a vital aspect of Maya culture and worldview.
