SAYS ON THE BACK FOR THE ANCIENT MAYA THE TRADITIONAL BALL GAME WAS ONE OF THEIR MAIN RELIGIOUSLY RELATED ACTIVITIES. AT THE ARCHELOGOICAL SITE OF CHINKULTIC, LOCATED TO THE SOUTH OF THE STATE OF CHIAPAS, THIS DISK WAS FOUND WHERE WE CAN OBSERVE A BALLPLAYER IN THE ACT OF HITTING A BALL WITH HIS WAIST

TWO TEAMS WOULD MEET ON COURTS OF VARIED SIZES, TWO INCLINED WALLS RAN ALONG THE SIDES OF THE COURT ONE FACING THE OTHER ON EACH WALL THERE WERE THREE GROUND AND PERPENDICULAR TO IT, THESE STONE RINGS SERVES AS THE GOALS OF THE BALL COURT

THE PURPOSE OF THE GAME WAS TO HAVE THE BALL HIT OR PASS THROUGH ONE THE RINGS. WHICH COULD ONLY BE ACCOMPLISHED BY HITTING THE BALL WITH THE ELBOWS, KNEES OR WAIST USUALLY THE GAME ENDED AFTER THE FIRST SCORE

GREAT FIND WITH THE DIRECTIONS ON THE BACK AND THE CONDITION IS GREAT
