The first 365-day calendar, known as the solar calendar, is believed to have been developed by the ancient Egyptians around 2700 BC. This calendar was based on the annual cycle of the sun and consisted of 12 months of 30 days each, with an additional 5 or 6 days added at the end of the year to align with the solar cycle.

The Aztec calendar was a combination of both solar and ritual calendars. The solar calendar consisted of 365 days, while the ritual calendar (tonalpohualli) had 260 days. The two calendars worked together to create a more complex system for tracking time and events.

The Maya civilization used both a solar calendar known as the Haab' and a sacred calendar known as the Tzolk'in to measure time. The Haab' consisted of 365 days and was based on the solar year, while the Tzolk'in had 260 days and was used for religious and ceremonial purposes.

One was a lunar calendar based on the phases of the moon. Priests used this calendar to determine religious days and lucky days. The other was a solar calendar,based on the movement of the sun. It's similar to the calendar we use today

The ancient Egyptian calendar consisted of twelve months, each containing 30 days, which totaled 360 days in a year. To align the calendar with the solar year, they added an additional five days at the end of the year, known as the "epagomenal days." This brought the total to 365 days, which closely approximates the solar year.
A 12-month lunar calendar is based on the phases of the moon, with months around 29.5 days long, making a total of about 354 days in a year. A 12-month solar calendar, like the Gregorian calendar, is based on the Earth's orbit around the sun, with months averaging 30-31 days and a total of about 365 days in a year. This results in a discrepancy in the number of days between the two types of calendars.
The term "synchronize" is unclear. The Islamic Calendar has a year of only 354 days, so it can never be the same length as a solar year (usually calculated with the Gregorian Calendar with an average of years length of 365.24 days). However, the date on the Islamic Calendar and on the Gregorian Calendar will correlate every 34 Islamic Calendar Years which correspond to 33 Gregorian Calendar Years.
In the Gregorian Calendar, which is the calendar currently used in every American country, 75.75% of the years have 365 days each, and 24.25% of the years have 366 days each, making the average calendar year 365.2425 days.
