Aztec Calendar

The Aztec calendar consists of the two calendars, one for a day count (tonalpohuali) and the other for a year count (xiuhpohuali). The first was the religious calendar, telling the ancient people when to consult the Gods and second was for agriculture purposes in figuring our the best time to plant crops.
