Aztec Object: Aztec calendar. The Aztecs used the sun, moon and stars to calculate the best time for harvest, planting, feasting and trading. They designed a calendar based on all this that was very precise. The calendar had two rings, the external and internal. The external ring showed a sequence of 52 years (century) marked by a symbol like a rabbit, an arrow, a flint or a temple. The inner ring had some other symbols that stood up for the 18 feasts they had throughout the entire year during the ceremonies in Tenochtitlan.
