Mexicans And Mayans Calendar System

My Birthday in Mayan date

reading the Maya calendar

the maya calendar system records a series of recurring cycles of time based on the movements of the Sun, Moon and Planets. Any given date repeats at cyclic intervals, just as,for example January 1st in the Gregorian (our) calendar repeats every time the earth completes a revolution around the sun. A complete Maya Long Count cycle is 5,125 years long. The long count calendar keeps track of the days that have passed since the mythical starting date of the Maya creation, August 11, 3114 BCE.

Units of Time

The basic unit of time is the day, or k'in.

2o k'in = 1 uinal {20 days} 20 tun = 1 katun {7,200 days}

18 uinal =1 tun {360 days} 20 katun = 1 baktun (144,000 days)
