Description

Who doesn't love a good ball game? Not the ancient Mayans, that's for sure! In this episode, Tyson, Colton, and Dr. Erich head 2,000 years into the past to explore the ancient Mayan ballgame called Pitz where players used their forearms, legs, and hips to hit a gigantic, solid rubber ball around a stone court. Seriously! These hips don't lie. Plus, we recount the amazing origin story of the K'iche' Maya, called Popul Vuh, and the ballgame that the Hero Twins played against the Lords of Xibalba.
