The Mayan Calendar: Credible or Questionable? By Lubna Roohi Malik, JD
"There were three calendars in use during the Maya period of power. The Haab’, or the 365-day solar calendar, was used by both the Maya and Aztec civilizations. The Tzolk’in, or the 260-day calendar, was used by both the Maya and Aztec civilizations. These first two calendars only identified weeks and days, and the two calendars overlapped once every 52 years. The Tzolk’in was specifically used to designate when each god would be worshipped, in hopes of maintaining equilibrium among the many deities."

The compilation of the Books of Chilam Bilam contain many reformative teachings that clearly parallel Islamic principles and themes. Though the Mayans had generally become hopelessly polytheistic, he repeatedly focused on Hunab-ku, the Unseen Lord of the Universe: “The Chacs were not gods. The only true God is our Lord God ... He created everything on earth.” (Book II, The Rise of Hunac Ceel to Power).
