The 260 day calendar of Mesoamerica is its oldest and most enduring measurement of time.  In this episode I'll explain how it works, what it means to modern Maya people, and how the Dresden Codex contains important links between the past and present uses of the sacred Tzolk'in calendar.Support the showSupport ArchaeoEd through Patreon!  https://www.patreon.com/archaeoedMayan Calendar - see the 2026 Mayan Calendar at https://www.mayan-calendar.comBars and Dots, Maya date calculator software - https://www.barsanddots.comEd's day job is Director of Maya Exploration Center, a 501(c)3 non-profit https://www.mayaexploration.org Check out Ed's YouTube Channel, Archaeologist Ed Barnharthttps://www.youtube.com/@Ed_Barnhart
