>> A Workshop with Katherine Morales
>> Katherine returns with a special workshop to teach you all you

>> about the various Maya calendars. The Maya calendar in its final form
>> probably dates from about the 1st century B.C., and may originate  
>> with the
>> Olmec civilization. It is extremely accurate, and the calculations  
>> of Maya priests
>> were so precise that their calendar correction is 10,000th of a  
>> day more
>> exact than the standard calendar the world uses today. The Haab, the
>> Tzolk´in, and the Calendar Round ... ask your questions of an expert!
