The Aztec sun calender is a circular stone with pictures representing how the
Aztecs measured days, months, and cosmic cycles. The Sun Stone or Calendar
Stone
The calendar is evidence of the Aztec's knowledge of astronomy and
mathematics. The calendar contained the pictographs for their days, months
and suns (cosmic cycles). The stone is 3.6 meters (12 feet) in diameter and
weighs about 24 metric tons. It took 52 years to complete, from 1427-1479, it
is believed due to the use of only stone tools. This calendar is 103 years older
than the Gregorian calendar which is used worldwide today.
Originally the Calendar Stone was placed atop the main temple in Tenochtitlan
(pronounced tay-nohch-TEE-tlahn), the capital of the Aztec empire. Today,
Mexico City's cathedral stands on the site. The Aztec calendar faced south in a
vertical position and was painted a vibrant red, blue, yellow and white. The
stone was buried by the Spaniards when they conquered Tenochtitlan. The
stone was lost for over 250 years until December of 1790 when it was found by
accident during repair work on the cathedral. Today it is located in the
National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City.
The face of Tonatiuh is in the center circle of the stone. Around the face are
four squares called Nahui- Ollin, or Four Movement. According to Aztec
legend, these squares represented the different ways that the four previous suns
(or worlds)
had come to an end: first by wild animals, then by wind, by fire, and by
floods. The Aztecs believed they were living in the fifth and last world.
Continuing outward, the next concentric circle shows twenty squares, each
naming one of the twenty different days of the Aztec month. Clockwise these
days are as follows:
Twenty Days of the Aztec Month
Snake - Coatl
Lizard - Cuetzpallin
House - Calli
Wind - Ehecatl
Crocodile - Cipactli
Flower - Xochitl
Rain - Quiahuitl
Flint - Tecpatl
Movement - Ollin
Vulture - Cozcacuauhtli
Eagle - Cuauhtle
Jaguar - Ocelotl
Cane - Acatl
Herb - Malinalli
Monkey - Ozomatli
Hairless Dog - Itzquintli
Water - Atl
Rabbit - Tochtli
Deer - Mazatl
Skull - Miquiztli
The Aztec year consisted of eighteen months, each having 20 days. Each
month was given a specific name. This arrangement took care of 360 days
(18x20), to which five dots were added inside the circle. These dots, known as
Nemontemi, were sacrificial days.
The next concentric circle is composed of square sections with five dots in each
section, probably representing weeks of five days. Next are eight angles
dividing the stone in eight parts. These represent the suns rays placed
according to the cardinal
points.
On the lower portion of the stone, two enormous snakes encircle the stone and
face each other. Their bodies are divided into
sections containing the symbols for flames, elephant-like trunks, and
jaguar-like forelegs. It is believed that these sections are
also records of fifty-two year cycles. A square is carved at the top of the
calendar between the tails fo the snakes. Inside the
square the date 13 Acatl is carved. This corresponds to 1479, the year the
calendar was finished.
Eight equally spaced holes appear on the very edge of the calendar. The Aztec
placed horizontal sticks here and the shadows of the sticke would fall on the
figures of the calendar; thus the stone also served as a sundial.
