See http://www.azteccalendar.com/azteccalendar.html at "The
xiuhpohualli", and note that 1502 - 1450 = 52, and 1450 - 1034 = 416 =
52 x 8. The names of the 365-day years cycle through 1 to 13 House,
Rabbit, Reed, Flint knife (Calli, Tochtli, Acatl, Tecpatl). Thus the
year names recur each 52 years.
