ʻO ka palapala mua loa i ʻike ʻia ma ka palapala Maya mai ka makahiki 250 BC, akā ua manaʻo ʻia ua kūkulu mua ʻia kēia palapala. Ua ʻike ʻia ka Maya no kā lākou moʻomeheu paʻakikī, kahi i komo ai nā hieroglyphs he nui.

Ua kālai ʻia nā hieroglyph Mayan i pōhaku a iwi paha, i pena ʻia ma ka ipu lepo a i kākau ʻia paha i loko o nā puke. ʻO nā poʻomanaʻo nui ʻelua o kā lākou mau kikokikona, he manaʻo hōkū a me ka hoʻomana.

Eia nā logograms nui i hoʻohana ʻia e ka moʻomeheu Maya e hōʻike i nā huaʻōlelo a me nā manaʻo.

ʻO nā helu Maya ka ʻōnaehana helu decimal (ke kumu iwakālua) i hoʻohana ʻia e ka moʻomeheu Maya pre-Columbian.

Aia nā huahelu he ʻekolu mau huaʻōlelo: ʻaʻohe (ke ʻano ʻāʻī), hoʻokahi (kiko) a me ʻelima (stripe). No ka laʻana, ua kākau ʻia he ʻumikūmāiwa (19) me nā kiko ʻehā ma ka lālani pae ma luna o nā laina ʻekolu ma luna o kekahi.

Eia kahi papa o nā helu Mayan.

ʻO ka Haab kahi kalena lā Mayan o ʻumikumamāwalu mahina o iwakālua mau lā i kēlā me kēia, a me ka manawa ʻelima lā ("nā lā inoa ʻole") ma ka hopena o ka makahiki i kapa ʻia ʻo Wayeb (a i ʻole Wayeb, ma ka spelling century 16th).

Hōʻike ʻia kēlā me kēia lā ma ka kalena Haab e ka helu o ka lā o ka mahina, a ukali ʻia e ka inoa o ka mahina. Hoʻomaka ʻia nā helu lā me kahi glyph i unuhi ʻia ma ke ʻano he "wahi" o ka mahina i kapa ʻia, ʻo ia ka mea i manaʻo ʻia he lā 0 o ia mahina, ʻoiai ka poʻe liʻiliʻi e manaʻo ʻo ia ka lā 20 o ka mahina ma mua o ka mahina i kapa ʻia. I ka hihia hope, aia ke keʻena nui o Pop ma Wayeb 'lā 5. No ka hapanui, ʻo 0 Pop ka lā mua o ka makahiki (wahi o Pop). A laila hiki mai ka 1 Pop, 2 Pop a 19 Pop, a laila 0 Wo,

ʻAʻole ʻo ka ʻōnaehana Tzolkin a me ka ʻōnaehana Haab i helu i nā makahiki. ʻO ka hui pū ʻana o ka lā Tzolkin a me ka lā Haab ua lawa ia e ʻike ai i ka lā i ka ʻoluʻolu o ka hapa nui o ka poʻe, no ka mea, ʻaʻole i hana hou ʻia kēlā hui ʻana no nā makahiki he 52 e hiki mai ana, ma mua o ka nui o ke ola.

No ka mea ua hoʻokumu ʻia nā kalena ʻelua ma 260 a me 365 mau lā, e hoʻihoʻi ka pōʻai holoʻokoʻa iā ia iho i kēlā me kēia 52 haab makahiki. Ua kapa ʻia kēia manawa ʻo ka moʻokāki kalena. ʻO ka pau ʻana o ka helu Kalena he manawa huikau a hoʻihoʻi ʻia no ka Maya i ko lākou kali ʻana e ʻike inā hāʻawi ke akua iā lākou i kahi pōʻai he 52 makahiki hou.

Eia ka kalena Haab (365 mau lā).

He almanac laʻa ʻo Mayan 260 lā.

ʻO ka alemanaka Mesoamerican Long Count he decimal ʻaʻole e hana hou ʻia (base 20) a me ka alemanaka kumu 18 i hoʻohana ʻia e kekahi mau moʻomeheu Mesoamerican pre-Columbian, ʻoi aku ka Maya. No kēia kumu, kapa ʻia ʻo ia i kekahi manawa ʻo ka kalena helu lōʻihi o Mayan. Me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka helu decimal i hoʻololi ʻia, hoʻoholo ka kalena Long Count i ka lā ma ka helu ʻana i ka helu o nā lā mai ka lā i hana ʻia ai ka moʻolelo, e pili ana me ʻAukake 11, 3114 BC. e like me ka kalena Gregorian.

Ua hoʻohana nui ʻia ka kalena Long Count ma nā monuments.

Eia ka Mayan Long Count Calendar a me kona mau hōʻailona.

ʻO kēia nā hōʻailona Mayan nui a mākou i ʻike ai a hiki i kēia lā. Inā loaʻa a kākau ʻia nā hōʻailona Maya hou aʻe, e hoʻokomo mākou iā lākou i kēia ʻāpana o nā hōʻailona Mayan kahiko.
