the calender was part of their cutler Aztec Stone of the Five Suns
"The Aztec carving is usually referred to as the Calendar Stone is not a calendar. Instead, this carved stone represents the creation of the world from caos. Thus it represents the Méxica (Aztec) view of the cosmos—their cosmovision.
The stone is designed as a series of concentric rings. The outer ring is composed of two fire serpents. In the mythology, serpents symbolize the primal caos from which the gods created an ordered world and human beings to inhabit it.
At the bottom of the stone, the serpents' heads face each other. Their tails are at the top of the stone and between their tails is the glyph for the date of creation. Most scholars set that date at August 11, 3114 B.C.
Inside the serpent circle is a solar disc with rays (elongated triangles) that mark not only the four cardinal directions of the created world, but four intermediate points as well, thus refining even more the ordering of caos."http://jennysmexico.blogspot.com/
