Did a Mayan rubber ball contain a human skull? And did it bounce? Ancient Mayans played a team sport where both sides try to propel a large rubber ball through a hoop using only their hips (no hands or feet). The game was known as poc-ta-poc. Losers didn't just hang their heads in shame. They lost them. Their severed heads were thrust on pikes for the cheering crowd to see. And in the museum, there is a stone carving that seems to show a human skull inside a poc-ta-poc ball. So historians wonder... Did Mayans really put skulls inside their poc-ta-poc balls?
