El calendario de los mayas es un asombro
You might also try to say: El calendario de los mayas es una maravilla.
I am assuming that the comment refers to its accuracy and how astonishing it is that a calendar that was so sophisticated could have been produced so long ago by the Mayans. If this is the case then you might also use maravilla - wonder.
Asombro would also probably be good (as well as extraordinario) as these would mean it was extraordinarily unexpected or brilliant.

Sorry...I guess I confused "trying to be helpful" with "too much information." Short answer: yes your sentence looks fine and appropriate. :-) - Izanoni1, Oct 5, 2009
