A Tentative Explanation of the Aztec Calendar

After a long break, we bring you a short explanation about the Aztec/Mexica Calendar. There are actually two and a half calendars: the Tonalpohualli, the Xiuhpohualli, and the Venus Count. Only briefly do we go over the Xiuhnelpilli and the New Fire Ceremony.
