Millénaire: Mayan buildings

Village Centers

Muul : Mayan Pyramids. The Mayans built hundreds of different variations of pyramids from the most common step pyramid to the pyramidal platforms which they placed their palaces, temples, sacrificial alters and other structures on top of.

K'uhul Jalab : Sacred Ball Court. The Sacred Ball Court was the site of a brutal Mayan sport. The field, approximately the size of a football field, is bordered by two imposing walls 26 feet tall. Seven combatants on each team tried to get a small rubber ball to go through a small stone hoop 23 feet above the ground  supposedly without using their hands or feet to touch the ball. The losing team was sometimes sacrificed.

Kan Cha'an : Observatory. The ancient Maya built observatories and aligned their most important buildings with the movements of celestial bodies such as the Sun and the Pleiades. Mayan astronomers noted the positions of the Sun, the Moon’s greatest northern and southern declinations, and the passages of Venus. They used the shadows inside the room cast from the angle of the Sun hitting the doorway, for example, to tell when the solstices would occur.
