Gran Juego de Pelota Review

The rubber stadium in the site of Qi Qin Yicha was the stadium where people played games in the ancient city. It is proved that rubber ball movement was very popular in the late Maya, and the high pillar platform is where the nobles admire the game. The pitch below is very large and flat, as if you can feel the inspiration of the game at that time, the view is really good.

The stadium in Chichen Itza is also very characteristic, in fact, it exists as a religious ceremony, not a real sports venue, and it all ends with a bloody sacrifice scene. The ground was wide and flat, with a high wall on each side, a substantial ring attached to the wall, just across a small rubber ball, and the two teams, the Mayans and their prisoners of war, were formed before the game really began, The POW side has been punished by hunger and lost a lot of physical strength, losing is inevitable, the losing side will pay the price of life, the loser will be beheaded, visiting here can not help but make people feel heavy. The wind on the court is very strong, the wind is sandy, and after a long time, it seems that the court is still haunted by fierce shouts, penetrating the memory of time. See the world as you go.

This is an ancient Mayan arena in the ancient city of Chichen Itza, according to the test, the Mayan people at that time had a kind of sports activities like balls very popular, this is the place where such sports events were held. A high platform in the middle is the place where the Wangs watch the ball game, surrounded by walls on both sides. Standing here, it seems that the fierce game at the time can still feel.

Regarding the Maya playing football, there is a lot of controversy about the winner sacrifice, generally the noble children and the defeated slaves, but not everyone imagined that the noble children deliberately lost to the slaves. Maya's sacrifices are important and serious things, and they give the most courageous and pure blood to the gods. There are reliefs on the pitch, the great sacrifice cuts off the captain of the victory team, blood spewing from the neck, moistening the earth and everything.

The stadium on the side of the pyramid in Chichen Itza is the most attractive place except for the pyramid. In addition to the relatively complete preservation of the building, it is difficult to imagine how the ancient Mayans could shoot the ball into the goal without hand only through the waist, elbows and other parts, and it is even more difficult to imagine. It is said that the sacrifice to celebrate the victory is the skull of the captain of the victory party, which really subverts my imagination. If it is the skull of the failed party, it is understandable, but it is considered more savage and bloody.

On the other side of the ancient city of Chichen Itza, there is a relatively large platform, here is the Mayan football field, is also the largest ancient football field in Central and North America, but their play is a bit different from modern football, the dragon gate is on it, it is a bit difficult to mention it. Next to it were some walls, and there were some bones on the temple walls, and some small patterns showing the race at the time. There are two kinds of statements, one is victory, the captain will be beheaded to the sky, the other is failure, the whole team will be beheaded punishment.
