Aztec consisted of 365 days.

The Aztecs were intelligent people that understand the importance and the meaning of time. These concepts were found in their famous Aztec Calendar also called in their native language "Nahuatl" as "Xiuhpohualli." It has 365 days. In this calendar, historians found that it is included days of the month and the rituals that were practiced in some of those dates. This calendar is a piece of prehispanic art that was found in the archeological excavations of the "Templo Mayor" (Major Temple ruins) in downtown Mexico City and it is exhibited in the world-famous Anthropology museum in Mexico City.
