The Aztec Calendar is the calendrical system used by the Aztecs as well as other Pre-Columbian peoples of central Mexico. It is one of the Mesoamerican Calendars, sharing the basic structure of Calendars from throughout Ancient Mesoamerica. The Aztec Sun Stone, also called the Calendar Stone, is on display at the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City. The Calendar consists of a 365-day calendar cycle called Xiuhpōhualli (year count) and a 260-day ritual cycle called Tōnalpōhualli (day count). These two cycles together form a 52-year "Century", sometimes called the "Calendar Round". The Xiuhpōhualli is considered to be the Agricultural Calendar, since it is based on the Sun, and the Tōnalpōhualli is considered to be the Sacred Calendar. For many centuries scholars had tried to reconstruct the Calendar. A widely accepted version was proposed by Professor Rafael Tena. His correlation argues that the first day of the Aztec year was February 13 of the old Julian Calendar or February 23 of the current Gregorian Calendar. The Aztec Calendar predicted that the world would end in December 2012. It did not and the Calendar just reset and started a new cycle.
