Aztecs Calendar

              One Aztec calendar is called the Xiuhpohualli, has 365 days. It shows days and rituals throughout their solar year. It had a similar format to the calendars of nearby cultures. The calendar was dedicated to the sun gods called Tezcatlipoca, Quetzalcoatl, Tlaloc and Chalchiuhtlicue. The Aztec calendar is similar to the Mayan calendar; however, it is more ambiguous because the people would take note of the day as it passed. The day-signs are shown below; each one represents a cardinal direction and a symbol.
