About This Temple
The Tzolk'in — known to the highland K'iche' Maya as the Chol Q'ij, "the count of days" — is a sacred 260-day calendar that has been kept unbroken for more than two thousand years. It is still living: counted each dawn by Ajq'ijab', the Maya daykeepers of Guatemala.
This project exists to honor that tradition with accuracy and respect. Our calculation is anchored to the GMT correlation (584283) — the value that matches the continuous count maintained by living daykeepers. Our interpretations draw primarily from Carlos Barrios' The Book of Destiny and the teachings of elders who carry this knowledge directly.
This is an offering, not an oracle of certainty. It is a doorway toward a profound living tradition — never a replacement for the guidance of a true daykeeper. We approach this knowledge as respectful students, with gratitude to the Maya peoples who have preserved it.
