id=\"Introduction\"><\/span>Introduction<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Aztec civilization was one of the most fascinating cultures in history. One of their most notable achievements was the creation of the Aztec calendar. This calendar was used for both religious and practical purposes, and it is still used by some indigenous communities in Mexico today. In this article, we will explore the basics of how to read the Aztec calendar.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_Aztec_Calendar\"><\/span>What is the Aztec Calendar?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Aztec calendar is a system of timekeeping that was developed by the ancient civilization of the Aztecs in what is now Mexico. It is made up of two separate calendars: the Tonalpohualli and the Xiuhpohualli.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Tonalpohualli\"><\/span>The Tonalpohualli<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Tonalpohualli is also known as the sacred calendar. It consists of 260 days, which are divided into 20 periods of 13 days each. Each of these periods is associated with a different deity or god. The Tonalpohualli was used for divination and religious ceremonies.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Xiuhpohualli\"><\/span>The Xiuhpohualli<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Xiuhpohualli is also known as the solar calendar. It consists of 365 days, which are divided into 18 periods of 20 days each, plus 5 extra days at the end of the year. Each period is associated with a different agricultural activity, such as planting or harvesting. The Xiuhpohualli was used for practical purposes, such as farming and taxation.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Read_the_Aztec_Calendar\"><\/span>How to Read the Aztec Calendar<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Reading the Aztec calendar can be a bit confusing at first, but it is actually quite simple once you understand the basics. The Tonalpohualli and the Xiuhpohualli work together to create a comprehensive system of timekeeping.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Determine_the_Day_Sign\"><\/span>Step 1: Determine the Day Sign<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The first step in reading the Aztec calendar is to determine your day sign. This is the sign that corresponds to the day you were born on. The Tonalpohualli has 20 day signs, which are represented by different symbols and animals. Each day sign has its own unique characteristics and associations.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Determine_the_Number\"><\/span>Step 2: Determine the Number<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The second step is to determine the number that corresponds to the day you were born on. The Tonalpohualli has 13 numbers, which are represented by dots and bars. Each number has its own unique meaning and association.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Combine_the_Day_Sign_and_Number\"><\/span>Step 3: Combine the Day Sign and Number<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The final step is to combine the day sign and the number to create your personal calendar date. For example, if your day sign is Ocelotl (Jaguar) and your number is 9, your personal calendar date is Ocelotl 9.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Question_and_Answer\"><\/span>Question and Answer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q_Why_is_the_Aztec_calendar_important\"><\/span>Q: Why is the Aztec calendar important?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A: The Aztec calendar is important because it provides insight into the beliefs and practices of the Aztec civilization. It also continues to be a significant part of the culture and identity of many indigenous communities in Mexico today.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q_Is_the_Aztec_calendar_still_used_today\"><\/span>Q: Is the Aztec calendar still used today?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A: Yes, the Aztec calendar is still used by some indigenous communities in Mexico today. It is an important part of their cultural heritage and identity.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q_How_accurate_is_the_Aztec_calendar\"><\/span>Q: How accurate is the Aztec calendar?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A: The Aztec calendar is based on astronomical observations and calculations, and it is quite accurate. It is not as precise as modern calendars, but it served the practical and religious needs of the Aztec civilization.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Aztec calendar is a fascinating and complex system of timekeeping that is still relevant today.
