ROTATING DAYS:
The Tonalpohuali crocodile starts at 1. For the second day, both the number and the symbol wind changed to 2, followed by the 3rd house, and so on until 13 cane, which is the time when the Aztec week ends. The fourteenth day in the calendar is 1 jaguar, eagle followed by 2. A total of 260 combinations of this type.
52 CYCLES:
The two calendars running simultaneously, and the same day at the same time Tonalphohuali falling on the solar calendar once every 52 years, so the Aztecs measured these periods of 52 years as we measure the centuries today
