This essay treats a possible method of calculation regarding the
Ring of Flames of the Aztec Calendar, and the relationship thereof with
the precession of the equinoxes. The 52-year cycle of the 365 day-count
reckoning system is analyzed with respect to the spatial division of
the design of the Aztec Calendar. The relationship of the 365c reckoning
system and the Sun's Great Cycle (ca. 26000 years) is shown to be the
result of design, and not a mere coincidence of numbers. A discussion
and interpretation of the day-glyph number 13, acatl, examine
its possible relation to the precession of the equinoxes.
