What mesoamerican civilization created the first ball game?

Answer 1

The first ball game was created by the Mayan civilization. This game is actually some kind of mixing between the soccer and the Basketball.

The game was about to kick a ball with the elbows, the shoulder, the knees and the feet but one rule: the player weren't allowed to touch it.

The objective of the game was insert the ball in a round hole in the wall which was several feet from the ground. And the losers from the game were sacrified to the sun.
