Answer The Mayans were the first to develope the calendar. Since then other tribes and groups of people have used it as a way of keeping up with the days, week, month and year. It has changed quite a bit too. Now into the modern calendar we use today. Hope I helped.

The ancient Egyptians first divided the year on this pattern, around 6000 years ago, based on the observations of their priests. They derived the number from the same golden section which gave us the duodecahedron, and which they believed was the Earthly representation of the Heavens. That is why there are two lots of 12 hours in a day, and why minutes and seconds are all 12 based.

The Mayan people made the calender. There is a movie about it called 2012. Supposedly this is when the Mayan calender ended soa common theory says that the Mayan predicted that is when the world would end.
The calendar was created for the same reason we use it today, to keep track of dates and holidays.

It is believed to have been created by Romulus, the founder of Rome. Several different forms of it evolved during the 700 years it was in use before it was finally reformed by Julius Caesar into the Julian calendar, which is extremely similar to, but less accurate than, the Gregorian calendar we use today. The original Roman calendar's founder is unknown as it was a date calculating system that was traditional. The calendar that we know today as the Roman calendar, the Julian Calendar, was reorganized by Julius Caesar.

it was either the Mayan India tribe or th Aztec

It can never be known who or what race made the first calendar.

They certainly pre-date written history. Perhaps a simple mark on a bone to indicate the passing of the days or months.

Dr. Aloysious Lilius proposed it and Pope Gregory VIII decreed it. It is named the Gregorian calendar after the Pope.
