The word "Mayan" is often misused in English. It is not correctly used as an adjectival qualifier to name the cultural objects such as calendar, hieroglyphs, civilization, society, peoples, etc. that are associated with the Maya. It is also not correct to talk about Mayan culture.
The word Maya is a noun but also a qualifer that is used to name things that belong to the Maya, including Maya culture.
This phrase "the Maya" refers to the entire 4,000 years of precolumbian and contemporary civilization, peoples, cultures, and societies.
Maya is thus an adjectival qualifier. Thus, the correct usage is Maya Civilization, Maya calendar(s), Maya hieroglyphs, Maya glyphs, Maya astronomy, Maya pyramids, Maya religion, Maya ritual, Maya warfare, etc.
There is one well known exception discussed below. Mayan is always used to refer to the languages that Maya and Mayans speak or spoke.
