Wooden Aztec Calendar

The Aztecs attributed the invention of the Aztec Calendar to the God Quetzalcoatl who created the current world, the Fifth Sun, by using his own life blood to give new life to bones. The original Aztec Calendar was carved in the 15th Century as an elaborate monument to the sun. It was initially used as a sacrificial altar to the cult of Tonatiuh, God of the sun, whose face is at the center, hence also being known as ‘Sun Stone’.
