“Calendars are the X-rays of civilizations, born from the patient observation of humans and nature, revealing something deeply magical. Nature is a collection of fascinating codes that humanity has always strived to decipher. By examining its rhythms, we traverse history, retracing the steps of civilizational development. The Mayas and Toltecs, for example, designed calendars remarkably similar to those of the Chinese, reflecting a universal harmony in the perception of time. Calendars originate from the need to understand the seasons : they guide us in sowing and harvesting, anticipating the cold of winter, understanding the heat of summer, and adjusting our lives to the immutable cycle of nature. Thus, the calendar addresses a fundamental need : to foresee and master the nourishing phenomena of the earth, ensuring the balance of human societies.”
