Juego de pelota / Ball game
This game is very important and very recognized by society. The famous "ball game"/ “juego de pelota” took place in Mesoamerican age.All cultures which consisted of that time.
The ball game was a sacred activity and played for the designated gods, but the ones who miss the town will sacrifice them. These ball games were a clash of2 teams for hitting some marker or pass the ball through the ring. They helped with the elbows, knees and hips.
As we can see in the Tula map has 2 different "fields" for the ball game the first...
