The Egyptian, Gregorian, And The Mayan Calendar

The calendars and the calculations made are very important to the people’s culture and the importance of time. The Egyptians, Gregorian's, and the Mayans calendar all represent the importance of time in their culture. Each of these has different forms of finding the times and the creations of the calendars. The Egyptians created their calendars based on the Sirius, the Gregorian's creation was based on the Julian calendar, and the Mayans calendar was due to their astronomical table calculations. Each of these shows the different creations based on the people's cultures and beliefs. The Egyptians calendar was based on the celestial bodies to determine the passing of time. For thousands of years, there have been records of timekeeping in the different cultures of past times. The Egyptian calendar was first based on the moon's cycles, but then discovered the Sirius which rose every 365 days. The Egyptian calendar and this discovery have led this to be one of the earliest discoveries that began in about 3100 BC. In the Egyptian culture the moon, stars, sun and planet are very important to the discovery of timekeeping for the calendar.

Saturno, an undergraduate student who discovered the looter's trench found paintings and calculations that showed evidence of the Mayans. After examining the calculations on the walls they noticed a time span from the cycles of the Mayan calendar. It is believed from the findings that the room was served for calendar priest, scribes, mathematicians, astronomers and anyone else who examined the heavens. For many years people have believed that the Mayans predicted that the world was going to end on December 21, 2012. However, after examining the calculations that were discovered they show that the Mayan calendar exceeds December 21,
