  • The Aztec calendar ...

    The Aztec calendar wasnt a copy of the Maya. The reason the Aztec and Mayan calendar were so similar was because they were both Mesoamerican civilizations. The Aztec calendar was made before the Aztec ever met the Mayans. Their both Mesoamerican, thats why the Aztecs and Mayans are similar.

  • Wow, sad that ...

    Wow, sad that National Geographic would use a lot of old ass and incorrect data. The lady even pronounced the name of the site incorretly.

    Also, what dumbass said "the calendar was set by the aztec not mayas." The Maya came before the "Aztec" and it's known the "Aztec" copied the Mayan calendar, and not even half as well as the Maya originally made it.
