Lavishly illustrated with full-color photographs of the great Mayan temples, this Mayans calendar includes rarely-seen prehispanic figures and symbols, sacred hand-painted codices, and tables that will help you decode the past. This amazing calendar features corresponding Mayan hieroglyphic dates from their 365 day solar Haab calendar, Long Count dates to December 21, 2012, and photo captions in Spanish and English.
