00:00You know Chris, I'm just curious. If the sundial is a clock made of stone, does it also have a calendar made of stone?
00:12Wow, your questions are really good.
00:14Ate Shira, I like that you're really thinking and being very curious about many things.
00:18Here, we'll find out the answer to your question.
00:20Okay.
00:22Even in the present day, there are still ancient calendars that we can see.
00:28The Aztec calendar stone is displayed in the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City.
00:35It was found in Mexico City in 1790.
00:39Its diameter is 12 feet and its weight is 25 tons.
00:44Just like the Mayan calendar, the Aztec calendar has two cycles.
00:50The 365-day solar cycle or year count.
00:54And the 260-day cycle or day count.
00:57Every 52 years, the two cycles align and this is what the Aztecs consider to be a century.
01:05According to historians, it dates back to the era of Moctezuma II from 1502 to 1520.
01:13The image of the Aztec sun god, Tonatiuh, is carved in the middle of the calendar.
01:19There are 20 symbols represented by 20 days of an Aztec month.
