The civilization you are referring to is the Maya. They developed an advanced calendar system, a complex written language known as hieroglyphics, and impressive stone pyramids for ceremonial purposes. Additionally, the Maya were among the first to use the concept of zero as a placeholder in their number system, which showcased their sophisticated understanding of mathematics.
The Maya civilization created an accurate calendar between A.D. 300 and A.D. 900. The Maya calendar was highly advanced and consisted of several interlocking calendars that helped them track time accurately and predict astronomical events. It was based on their extensive knowledge of mathematics, astronomy, and astrology.
Mayans developed zero as a placeholder around A.D. 350 and used it to denote a placeholder in their elaborate calendar systems. But Mayans never used zero in equations.
The ancient Egyptians had a 360 day calendar, but i do believe they were the founders of the 365 calendar. Hope it help :)
Important to who? The Aztecs probably would have thought your calendar was pretty unimportant. The Aztecs themselves considered their calendar extremely important, because it documented the cycles of the world and the powers of the gods. Non-Aztecs consider the Aztec calendar important because it was very sophisticated and accurate for a non-modern society. Accurate in the sense that it kept good time, not in the sense that it made accurate "predictions".

The solar calendar was developed in various civilizations, including the ancient Egyptians, Babylonians, and Greeks. However, the most commonly used solar calendar today is the Gregorian calendar, which was introduced by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582.

False. The Maya developed highly accurate calendars, including the sacred Tzolk'in calendar and the solar Haab calendar. They also had a Long Count calendar that could track long periods of time with great precision.
