DESCRIPTION
The mesoamerican cultures had a fascinating calendar system based on interlocking cycles of 13 and 20. (Tzolk’in to the Maya, Tonalpohualli to the Aztec, and probably other names to other cultures.
) Unfortunately, this only accounts for 260 days, so it was usually combined with a solar year counting system based on similar principles, but using a more traditional month/day arrangement.
(The Haab) The combination of dates between the two systems repeated every 52 years, which became a time of major celebration.
Disk Clock takes the idea of clock and turns it inside-out by moving the faces instead of the hand.
Disk Tzolk'in shows the 13/20 interlocking cycle together with an entire 260 day disk.
Outer disk relates the two cycles by alternating, overlapping colors.
