The Aztec civilization used two primary calendars: the Tonalpohualli and the Xiuhpohualli. The Tonalpohualli is a 260-day ritual calendar consisting of 20 periods of 13 days, primarily used for divination and religious ceremonies. In contrast, the Xiuhpohualli is a 365-day solar calendar divided into 18 months of 20 days each, plus an additional 5 "empty" days, and is used for agricultural and civil purposes. Together, these calendars reflect the Aztecs' complex understanding of time, spirituality, and the natural world.
