THE AZTEC CALENDAR: MATH AND DESIGN

By Charles William Johnson. The Aztec Calendar: Math and Design explores the inner workings of the Mexican Sun Stone. The author analyzes the central meaning to the calendar as of the different concentric rings which create its intriguing design. The knowledge about the calendar’s meaning and function has been lost throughout the ages. But, its design elements suggest a certain logic of numbers. These numbers reflect the orbital times of Earth and Venus, along with other day-counts and cycles of our Universe. The author explains how the calendar’s rings move in order to reckon the days.
