8 Cauac 13 Zip

[edit]

[edit]

The article says that 8 Cauac 13 Zip is an example of a calendar round date. This is baloney. Not all combinations of Tzolk'in and Haab' occur. Actually 8 Kawak can only coincide with 2, 7, 12 or 17 Sip. So this Calendar Round NEVER happens. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Senor Cuete (talkcontribs) 20:42, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No such language as "Mayan"

[edit]

Mayan is a group of languages, broadly divided into Cholan (highlands) and Yucatec (lowlands) languages - so the statement that the 260 day count was called the Tzolk'in in Mayan is incorrect. Actually "Tzolk'in" and "Haab'" are modern words in Yucatec. It is unknown what they were called in ancient times. ~~Senor Cuete
