Mayans live on the earth, why not use earth time?

Because of the difference between Mayan civilization and modern civilization, although the Mayans made great achievements in astronomy and mathematics, their scientific and technological level was still relatively low at that time. Moreover, the Mayans at that time were in the Stone Age, so the Mayans would use their own time to calculate time.

Maya generally divided a year into 260 days, consisting of 20 domain names and a period of 13 days, just like the combination of 10 days and 12 earthly branches in China. This time setting is usually used for sacrifice or divination. A year is divided into 18 months, each month is divided into 20 days, and then five days of sacrifice are added each month, which is 365 days. Although the Mayans used their own time, it was similar to the calculation of modern science.

When the Mayan civilization was discovered, archaeologists never gave up their research on it. Many urban buildings of Mayan civilization have been amazed by modern science and technology, and in many ways they are not even inferior to modern civilization. Moreover, the sewer measures during the Mayan civilization were perfect. In addition to urban relics, the Mayans not only created their own culture, but also created their own characters in the process of creating culture. Maya, as the earliest nation to create characters on the American continent, also created its own calendar in the process of development. However, the decline of Mayan civilization is also one of the mysteries in the world. Many people want to know what happened at that time, and there are many unexplained questions about the disappearing Mayan civilization. There are actually many theories about what happened to the Mayans.

The Mayans made great achievements in astronomy and mathematics at that time. Many people were curious about the unknown civilization of the Mayans, while others thought that the Mayans did not belong to this earth at all. However, despite all kinds of speculations about the Maya, the mystery about the Maya still cannot be explained, but the Mayan calendar is unique in the world.
