How did the Mayans use their different calendars?

Answer 1

The Mayans made the calendar by building the Chichen Itza temple. This temple has four stairwells and a platform on top. Each stairwell contained 91 steps each. 91 (# of steps) x 4 (# of stairwells) =364 plus the platform would equal 365. That is also the number of days in a year.

Answer 2

The Maya calendar consists of several cycles or counts of different lengths. The 260-day count is known to scholars as the Tzolkin, The Tzolkin was combined with a 365-day vague solar year known as the Haab' to form a synchronized cycle lasting for Haab', called the Calendar Round. The Calendar Round is still in use by many groups in the Guatemalan highland

Answer 3

The Mayans used multiple calendars for different purposes, such as tracking religious ceremonies, agricultural cycles, and historical events. The Tzolk'in calendar, with a 260-day cycle, was used for religious practices and divination. The Haab calendar, with a 365-day cycle, was used for tracking agricultural events and seasons.
