The Mayans would play 'The ball game' which was a bit like football (soccer for all you American dudes) and the pitch was huge and the object was to get a ball trough a small hoop about 18 feet up.Then after the game the best player would be sacraficed ( You can`t insult the Gods by offering a diddy player!) Anyway, this was like the royal box where the important peeps would watch the game.

Excellent angle and composition....well done, still no tourists!! Those steps look so steep, I would need a hoist to get up there. It's a good job our top football stars aren't treated like that now, or else there would be more wide shots and penalty misses than ever....great pic and info...Jacquie

A friend of mine works in a camera store. The other day a very confused looking woman approached the counter and handed my friend a camera. She said "I took pictures, but I forgot to have film in the camera. Can you please get them out of the camera for me?"
