Playing a ball game with stone hoops.

Explanation:

In the Mesoamerican civilizations there was a game that was widely practiced and enjoyed. The origin if the game is not totally certain, though it has been suggested that it was the Maya that invented and started it off. It was a ball game. It was played in a rectangular field, where there stone hoops attached on the end of it, and the goal was to get the ball through the small hoops. On the sides of the field there were stone structure made for sitting, for the audience.

  • The purpose of this game is not totally sure, and there are theories ranging from being religiously important, about dominance and pride, used for sacrifice, or just for entertainment.
  • It is believed that, though speculated, that occasionally the game was played with human head instead of ball, and that the winning or losing team was sacrificed to the gods.
  • This ball game probably gave the basis for the development of the most popular sport in the world, the football (soccer).
