The Ancient Aztecs weren’t the only Mesoamerican society to partake in a competitive game of Tlachtli. The Incans and the Mayans also participated in the ancient sport beginning around 1400 BC. The popular ball game included using a ball made out of stone where teams attempted to pass the ball through a stone hoop above their heads.
