This talk will discuss archaeoastronomy and how we come to understand the hieroglyphs related to calendrical systems. Using NASA's JPL Horizon's system and leveraging existing knowledge about the Mesoamerican calendars, we were able to establish both the earliest Mesoamerican lunar calendar among the Zapotec and a long-term method for maintaining an eclipse record in ancient Maya books. Please come to join and learn about these ancient mathematic and astronomical systems.</span></div><div class="gmail_default"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;font-size:large"><br></span></div><div class="gmail_default"><img src="cid:ii_mltlo5gl2" alt="image.png" width="413" height="543" class="gmail-CToWUd gmail-a6T" tabindex="0" style="cursor: pointer; outline: 0px;"><div class="gmail-yj6qo"></div><div class="gmail-adL"><br></div></div></div>
