The Mayan's Culture
The Mayans are well-known for one of the only pre-Columbian written languages, and also for their extensive knowledge about astronomy, which helped them create one of the very first 365-day calendars.
The calendars were very advanced. Below is El Castillo, a calendar that is also a temple. There are 365 windows, and 4 sets of 91 steps which, including the temple, also equals 365.

This video is very informative about Mayan culture and El Castillo.
I highly recommend reading the video's helpful subtitles, as the video itself is in a different language.
