. World Tibet Day WORLD TIBET DAY will be held this year on Saturday July 6th, on the birthday of His Holiness, the Dalai Lama. We created WTD as a vehicle to demand the restoration of basic freedoms to the people in occupied Tibet. At the same time, we are offering the event as a celebration of the unique beauty of Tibetan culture while also as a way to honor the birthday of His Holiness. In its fourth year, last July, we hosted observances in 56 cities in 22 countries - and we intend to celebrate WTD every year until the rights of the Tibetan people are restored. |

Ancient civilizations relied upon the apparent motion of these bodies through the sky to determine seasons, months, and years. We know little about the details of timekeeping in prehistoric eras, but wherever we turn up records and artifacts, we usually discover that in every culture, some people were preoccupied with measuring and recording the passage of time. In contrast, the Mayans of Central America relied not only on the sun and moon, but also the planet Venus, to establish 260-day and 365-day calendars. Their calendars later became portions of the great Aztec calendar stones.
