Mesoamerican ballgame was an ancient sport played by cultures like the Aztecs and Maya, using a heavy, solid rubber ball. Players used their hips, elbows, and knees to keep the ball in play and score points by hitting it through high stone rings or into the opponent's end of the court. Rules varied, but the game was deeply symbolic, representing life and death, and was often used for political and religious purposes. #fyp #maya #mexico #aztec #indigenous
