Historical Thread
|
This thread is where we can discuss the Maya ball game and its ritual signifigance.
The ball game of the Maya was not just a game: although at times the ball game was enjoyed simply for pleasure, at others it became a life-and-death ritual of the greatest significance. In many pre-Columbian cultures, the game represented a victory of life over death.
