The Mayan one is similar in composition, but different in style. It is a monthly calendar and a yearly one as well, depending on which ring you are counting. I can't really tell you how to 'read' it. You need to find out today's date on it, and simply start keeping track. I have a shirt with all the months on it for the Mayan calendar, but it doesn't tell the equivalent dates on the Gregorian (our) calendar. Sorry I can't help. Chance are your calendar is not especially rare or valuable. It is cool looking however. The Mayans and the Aztecs were different cultures, something the movies didn't point out. Both were based on the Toltec and Olmec societies. Neither had much to do with the Incas in South America (although there is some evidence of trade). Do a search on Aztec calendars. It might help. peace Um, that is the Aztec calendar, not the Mayan one.
