Mayan Calendar Calculator
The Maya used several interlocking calendars. The sacred 260-day Tzolk'in combines 13 numbers with 20 day signs; your birth day sign, called a nawal by the K'iche' Maya who still keep the count today, is said to carry your innate energy. The 365-day Haab' follows the seasons, and the Long Count numbers days from 11 August 3114 BCE.
