		+	In his article "[http://nahuatlstudies.blogspot.com/2017/04/the-aztecs-did-not-need-leap-year.html The Aztecs Did Not Need a Leap Year], Magnus Pharao Hansen argues that because the Aztecs were anchoring the beginning of their calendar to the day after the spring equinox, there was not a need for a leap year in the first place.
