Mayan Calendars
The Maya were an influential(有影响的) people living in what is now Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, EI Salvador, and parts of southern Mexico. The ancient Maya developed sophisticated(复杂的) systems of agriculture, architecture, science, mathematics, and writing. One of the most important Mayan developments was the creation of calendars.
The ancient Maya had several calendars. The Tzolkin (ZOL-keen) calendar was tied to religious beliefs. The Haab (hayb) calendar was based on the length of a year.
Understanding astronomy(天文学) helped the Maya accurately(精确地) measure days, months, and years. A year had 365 days by Mayan calculations(计算), as it does in our own calendar. The Mayan year, though, was made up of 18 months, and each month had 20 days. An extra 5 days were added to complete the calendar year. These days rounded out the calendar nicely, but the Maya thought they were unlucky.
One of the most unusual Mayan calendars was actually a pyramid. Around AD 1050, the Maya built the Pyramid of Kukulkan(KO-KUL-kan) at Chichén Itzá(chee-CHEN eet-SAH) , The pyramid had a stairway(楼梯) on each of its four sides. Each stairway had 91 steps. Counting the platform at the top, there were 365 steps, the same number of days in the calendar year.
