Mayan Months - Haab Calendar

The 365 day Mayan year was called a Haab. There were 18 months in the year. All of the months had 20 days in them. But since that was only 360 days and 365 days were needed to make a year 5 unlucky days were added to make the year complete. These five days were called a Uayeb.
