One reason is that due to the fact that they were so intelligent they made their temples and pyramids so astronomically great. If you look at one of their temples it has for sides, and on each side their is 91 steps.

91 times 4 (sides) = 364

and when you add in the top step

364+1= 365

it equals the solar calenders days, as there is 365 days in most years.
