Just found the "13 moon" thing a few days ago. Couldn't quite figure how the 'day out of time' always fell on the same solar day every year. But hey, I just ignored it. Its a fun think....
I did try to understand the Mayan calendar years ago and found the glyophs and all very complex. Can anyone explain any of it for me? Link to a good site ...
)society has so messed up the calendar thing.)

Re: OK, so how does the "real" Mayan calendar work?

A nice website with great pictures, with information for those just learning, is azteccalendar.com/
The names are different, but the dates align and it is very similar to the Mayan calendar ("imix" is called "cipactli", and both words mean "alligator/crocodile").
