Muisca calendar

Well kiddo, the Muisca calendar is like a special book that the Muisca people used a long, long time ago to keep track of time.

You know how we have days, weeks, months and years? The Muisca calendar had all of those things too, but it was a bit different than what we use today. Instead of 12 months, they had 12 moons, which were each named after something special like crops or animals.

There were also special days that were important for things like planting crops, harvesting, and celebrating festivals. These days were marked in the calendar too, so everyone knew when they were coming up.

But here's the really interesting part, kiddo. The Muisca calendar was not just about keeping track of time. It was also used to connect the Muisca people to nature and the world around them. They paid close attention to things like the stars and the change of the seasons. By understanding these things, they could make wise decisions about hunting, farming and traveling.

So, that's a brief introduction to the Muisca calendar, kiddo. It was a special way of keeping track of time and staying connected to nature. Pretty cool, huh?
