This “Maya(n) Calendar” as many call it, actually is not the calendar, but the such called the Aztec “Sun Stone”. The Sun Stone’s face in the middle is the Aztec sun god Tonatiuh, god of sun, sacrifice and fertility.

The “Real Maya Calendar” in fact is a calendar system. It was used by almost all cultures in pre-Columbian Central America—including those predating the Maya themselves. The calendar consists of three separate corresponding “calendar-wheels”: The Long Count, the Tzolkin (divine calendar), and the Haab (civil calendar). Each of them is cyclical, meaning that a certain number of days must occur before a new cycle can begin. Some people still use this calendar to this date.

Today, the most well-known ancient cultures (among many others) of this area to many people are the Maya, Aztec and Olmec.
