The Maya Calendar

The Maya calendar is a very famous symbol of the Mayans. The Maya calendar consists of a system of three interlacing calendars and almanacs which was used by several cultures in Central America, most famously the Maya civilization. The three calenders interlacing are called the Long Count, the Tzolkin (divine calendar) and the Haab (civil calendar). These three parts work together to tell the time. The Maya Calendar predicted the end of the world to be December 21,2012, which clearly isn't correct. Some Mayan communities still use the calendar today.
