Evidencias de agroastronomía entre los antiguos mayas

Abstract

This study focuses on an Postclassic Maya agricultural almanac in the Madrid Codex (12b-18b), which seems to show a registry of eclipses integraed with observations of Venus in the context of a 260-day calendar (Tzolkin). Using the dates of eclipses visibles in Yucatán, it is posible to date the events between 1452 and 1492, contemporary with the use of the codex.
