| Mar 16, 2017 at 2:35 | comment | added | nwr | One last tidbit..."The presence of such an intercalation was generally accepted by most scholars in 1845 - but by 1904, it was rejected as mere conjecture." This quote is from quadibloc.com/science/cal09.htm . It is suggested that Jacinto de la Serna was the first to note there is no record that supports the use of intercalation, and such an important event (rebirth) should have left a lot of evidence of its practise. | |

| Mar 15, 2017 at 18:24 | comment | added | nwr | Unfortunately the two or three paragraphs describing Coe's views do not include any references. The wiki page on Coe does list his "major works" and we can infer that it must be a work prior to 1984. I would guess the 1966 text "The Maya" looks like the most likely. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_D._Coe | |
| Mar 15, 2017 at 18:11 | comment | added | Alexandre Eremenko | @Nick: Can you give a reference on Coe? | |
| Mar 15, 2017 at 17:49 | comment | added | nwr | There is a vague account of Coe's reasoning given, although, as pointed out, it is not universally accepted. I looked for Simon's text from 1984 but could not find anything. If nothing else, it does indicate considerable debate amongst specialists. | |
| Mar 15, 2017 at 17:37 | comment | added | Alexandre Eremenko | @Nick: Unfortunately the author of the text cites some paper without giving proper reference to it, and adds that "some experts disagree" with it. | |
| Mar 15, 2017 at 0:48 | comment | added | nwr | This "talk" page on the wiki site appears to suggest that the use of intercalary days by the Aztecs has be "disproven" by Z.A. Simon and Micheal Coe. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk%3AAztec_calendar#The_Aztec_calendar | |
