While exploring Wupatki National Monument in northern Arizona my sister and I stopped to check out a reconstructed Ball Court. There is still some speculation as to the purpose of a ball court in the ancient indian's daily lives, but there is no doubt the ball court idea travelled all the way from the Aztec and Mayan cultures in Mexico. How neat is this!? Proof that trade of goods and ideas was already well in place a thousand years ago. Can you imagine people playing some sort of ball game here? Just picture it!
Leave me a comment below and let me know if you think this is as cool as I do!
