Manage episode 380250825 series 3350263
According to Merriam-Webster dictionary, Tlachtli was "a ball game played by Central American Indians (as the Aztecs and Mayas) in which the players endeavor by the use of only the leg, hip and elbow to send a solid rubber ball through two rings set vertically in the walls of an I-shaped court."
In this week's episode, Hunter takes a look at this ancient Mesoamerican ballgame. More specifically he talks about how it was played, who played it, the cultural impact that it had, and how it is making a comeback in modern times.
