Kommentar: The Mesoamerican ballgame was no ordinary sport. Played by the Olmecs, Maya and Aztects, from the least 1200 BC to the Spanish Conquest in the 16th century AD, it was both a contest of breathtaking athletic skill and a ritual spectacle in which the struggle between the opposing forces of day and night, good and evil, life and death was enacted by the teams on the ballcoirt.
