It is Mayan time keeping and mathematics that has most fascinated me.  I think the accuracy of their timekeeping was due an accident of the latitudes in which they lived in Mexico.  Apparently this regions is in one of the few latitudes where the sun is directly overhead for two days (and not just one day) a year (but, don’t ask me which).

Anyway, enjoy the article and the serpent below.
