What is a calendar that consists of three separate calendars?
it is the Mayan Calendar, that consists of three separate corresponding calendars:
the Long Count, the Tzolkin (divine calendar), and
the Haab (civil calendar). Each of them is cyclical, meaning that a certain number of days must occur before a new cycle can begin.
Being used simultaneously,
the Tzolkin and
the Haab identify the days, but not the years
the Long Count date comes first, then the Tzolkin date, and last the Haab date.
A typical Mayan date would read: 13.0.0.0.0 4 Ahau 8 Kumku.
A date is specified by its position in both
the Tzolkin and
the Haab calendars. This creates a total of 18,980 unique date combinations, which are used to identify each day within a cycle lasting about 52 years. This period is called the Calendar Round.
The Mayan c. is still in use in some Mayan communities. It dates back to the 5th century BCE, but the same system was also used by other indigenous peoples of America.
