Aztec Calendars. Mayan Calendars. The original mandala of the Caribbean. They're intense, and it's hard to know what you're looking at. I'm really drawn to mandalas across cultures. They're like dumplings, they managed to pop up in all kinds of cultures without any of them influencing one another - China, Mexico, Europe, etc. So cool! And they all have different purposes, most of which go back to spiritual beliefs.
Intro Aztec Calendars! The Mayans did it first... but I think the Aztecs did it better. Considering most of the stone calendars that are still sold today are replications of Sun Stone Aztec Calendar. In fact, we own one.
