The Maya based their calendar on careful observation of the planets, sun and moon.
no they didn't. the Olmec did but the Olmec were ancestor's of the Maya.
The Maya calendars were highly accurate in predicting astronomical events and important dates. They were able to track celestial movements with precision and align their calendars with astronomical cycles. This allowed them to predict events such as solstices, equinoxes, and eclipses with great accuracy.

The Maya and Olmec both Farmed, they both had 1 ruler, and they both made Calendars.

To use a Maya calendar, familiarize yourself with the Long Count, Tzolk'in, and Haab calendars. The Long Count is a linear count of days. The Tzolk'in is a 260-day cycle, and the Haab is a 365-day solar calendar. You can combine these calendars to track dates and events in the Maya system.
The Maya had two main calendars: the Tzolk'in, a 260-day sacred calendar, and the Haab', a 365-day solar calendar. By combining these calendars in a cycle known as the Calendar Round, the Maya were able to track time accurately and synchronize different aspects of their society. Their calendars were remarkably accurate for their time, with the Haab' calendar being only around 17 seconds off from the actual solar year.

Yes. Every civilisation developed and used some form of calendar
The Maya calendars were highly accurate, with the Long Count calendar used for measuring long periods of time and the Tzolk'in and Haab calendars used for tracking shorter cycles. They demonstrated advanced astronomical knowledge and precision in their timekeeping systems.
