Customer Reviews
gives the actual day in the Maya calendar!
I love this calendar because it actually gives the Maya day for each day of 2009. It also has a countdown to 2012 and cool facts about Maya history. More than just pretty pictures, this calendar is a tool for understanding an ancient way of thinking. The associated website provides even more information and let's you calculate your birthday in the Tzolkin, or sacred count of days.
Lot's of days. Twelve beautiful pictures. Wonderful glyphs.
I get this calendar every year. What can one say about a calendar. I have one in my wallet that works just as well. This one, however, inspires me to get out of town.
