The Maya civilization was located in parts of Mexico, Guatemala, and parts of Belize, El Salvador, and Honduras. They lived from 2600 BC and 1800 BC. The Mayans were very smart and they invented or built things such as, the Mayan calendar. They made up a game called the Ballgame or as the Mayans referred to pitz which was part of Maya political, religious, and social life. It was played with a rubber ball ranging in size from that of a softball to a soccer ball, players would attempt to bounce the ball without using their hands through stone hoops attached to the sides of the ball court.
