What did the maya civilization do for entertainment

History
2 answers:
amid [387]3 years ago

The main form of entertainment for the Mayans was a type of ball game played in special courts constructed in an I-shape. Two teams opposed each other in trying to get a rubber ball through stone hoops attached to the sides of the courts or at opposite ends of the court. The entire community became involved as players, spectators, sponsors and gamblers, and priests performed ceremonies before and after.

Most Mayan leisure activities were bound up with notions of religious or ceremonial significance. Music, for instance, played an enormous role, with instruments including drums, maracas and tortoise shells, yet it was primarily an accompaniment to dance rituals and spiritual workings, rather than a form of entertainment.

Also known for its mythical symbolism is the best known game of the Maya, which was known as pitz. This was a ballgame, so in that respect it qualifies as a leisure activity, but it was intimately bound up with the complex of social, political and religious life as well. Pitz was played on I-shaped stone ball courts that were situated in the center of large Mayan cities as a display of their wealth. Although the precise rules are unknown, the game was played by two teams with a rubber ball that players were not permitted to touch with their hands or feet. Symbolically, the game was an homage to the mythical ball players, the Maya Hero Twins.

What effects has the dissolution of the Soviet Union had on the U.S.?
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Explanation:

Gorbachev’s loosening of governmental power created a domino effect in which Eastern European alliances began to crumble, inspiring countries such as Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia to declare their independence. The Berlin Wall fell on November 9, 1989, leading East and West Germany to officially reunite within a year, ending the Cold War. Once the Berlin Wall fell, citizens in Eastern European countries such as Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria and Romania staged protests against their pro-Soviet governments, hastening the collapse of communist regimes across the former Soviet bloc. Other countries—such as the Republic of Belarus, the Russian Federation and Ukraine—followed suit, creating the Commonwealth of Independent States. By the end of 1989, eight of the nine remaining republics had declared independence from Moscow, and the powerful Soviet Union was finally undone. By the summer of 1990, all the formerly communist Eastern European officials had been replaced by democratically elected governments, setting the stage for the region’s reintegration into Western economic and political spheres.

The dismantling of the Soviet Union had many long-lasting effects on the global economy and the region’s foreign trade. Its downfall increased the United States’ influence as a global power and created an opportunity for corruption and crime in Russia. It also prompted many cultural changes and social upheavals in former Soviet nations and smaller neighboring communist countries. Between 1989 and 1991, the gross national product in Soviet countries fell by 20 percent, ushering in a period of complete economic breakdown.
