because the Mayans used their knowledge of mathematics and astronomy to develop things like the development of a complex calendar system. one of their calendars is a daily calendar, that's based on the solar (sun) year. it divided the year into 18 months of 20 days each, plus 5 "unlucky" days. this totaled 365days, as in our calendar. the second calender was the sacred or ritual calendar. it was called the 'tzolkin,' or sacred round. it was based on 13 months of 20 days each, making 260 days in all. it had two cycles that worked together to identify a particular day. one cycle was made up of the numbers 1-13. the other cycle was a set of 20 day names. each name represents a particular god. only priests could "read" the hidden meaning of the sacred round. the calender system reflects a highly advanced civilization. the Maya were very skilled people.

i hope this helps you!;)
