260 day calendars Posted at 08:00 EST
Reading some more about the 260 day calendars of the Mixtec and Zapotec civilizations, it seems that these 260 days were also divided into 4 parts of 65 days.

Found out later on that the Maya also divided their 260-day calendar into "chunks" of 65 days. This is shown in the Dresden codex... 4 sections underneath the deities associated with the cardinal points have dots and "footprints". Together they form 4x5 strings of 13 dots (=4x65=260 dots/days)


We know that the Mixtec people received a name that was connected to a day out of this calendar, but was it the birthday itself, or not? Could it be that they were used to retrieve the date of conception....???

4 ahau, 8 kumku Posted at 07:53 EST
I've stumbled upon something very strange...before the beginning of this present Longcount, the day 4 ahau, 8 kumku keeps on appearing on the exact same day after 52 years: 23 august!
After 3114 BC this day keeps changing...
Well it could of course have something to do with an error in the program, but who knows?
