Aztec - Museum Quality Replica of Small Aztec Calendar

Also known as the Sun Stone it is probably the best-known monument of Mexico. The original Aztec Calendar measures 12 feet (3.57 meters) in diameter, 4 feet thick and weighs 24.5 tons. It was sculpted in 1479 and placed in the Great Temple ( Templo Mayor) the centerpiece of the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan (now Mexico City). Because symbols of the 20-day Aztec calendar circle it, the disc was misidentified as a calendar after its discovery in 1790 beneath Mexico City's central square. Today however, scholars recognize that the stone was no mere calendar. The glyphs and icons adorning it were a road map of the Aztecs' destiny, indicating not only when the world was supposed to have begun, but also when it would end.
