Chichen Itza 09

The Juego de Pelota (Ball Court) at the ancient city of Chichén Itzá on the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico is surrounded by sloping walls, vertical on the inside but tilted from top to bottom on the outside. Each of the northern, southern and eastern sides support temples which were probably used for rituals on the days when the sacred games were played.. Serpents, jaguars & eagles all had important meanings to the society living here 1,000 years ago.. . ..
