3 Palaces and temples At the heart of each city usually stood palaces and temples. These buildings were built on raised ground so that they towered above the surrounding city. Buildings were carefully planned by skilled architects and built out of strong stone by labourers. Only the most important people in the city lived in this area. Chichen Itza is a famous complex of Maya ruins. The elaborate temples stood at the highest point and they were either covered in white stucco and polished (so they shone in the sun) or painted red and blue. These huge buildings were sometimes up to 70 metres tall and constructed by hand without machines. Many had giant steps leading up to them and they were carved with elaborate images of gods and mythical creatures. The top of the temple was flat so the priest could stand there to perform ceremonies and sacrifices in honour of the gods as the people watched. Palaces built for the King and the ruling classes were built around a central courtyard and separated by arches. Administrative buildings were constructed near to the palace so that the king had his advisors nearby. Ball-courts were also built in this part of the city. A special ball game called pok-a-tok was played there and this was an important part of their religious beliefs. Teaching Packs - Ancient Maya - Page 9 Image ThinkStock
4 Nobles Nobles in Maya society were those born to wealthy families who owned land and held positions of responsibility and power. They included administrators, generals and scribes. Noble families could trace their ancestors back over many generations. Children born in noble families were taught to read and write by educated priests. Warriors, merchants and craftsmen These people were an important part of society. Warriors were respected for their strength and courage, merchants traded between city-states and craftsmen made and sold crafts and other goods. Children born into a craftsman s family were given different responsibilities. Boys were taught craft skills from their fathers whilst girls were taught how to weave, cook and care for the younger children in the family. Teaching Packs - Ancient Maya - Page 15
5 Pok-A-Tok One of the main stories in the Popol Vuh is a creation myth about twin brothers called Hunahpu and Xbalanque who were the sons of the maize god. The story explains how the twins had annoyed the gods by playing a ball game too loudly. They were then forced to play a game to save their lives. In their anger, the gods of the underworld knocked Hunahpu s head off to use as a ball, but Xbalanque managed to whack the head back onto his brother s neck. As a result of this myth, the Maya treated ball courts as holy places. The Pok-a-tok ball courts were built out of stone and painted bright colours. The game was played as part of religious ceremonies between two teams who had to pass the ball without touching it with their hands. Elbows, forearms, hips or knees could be used and points were scored by striking the ball through a stone ring. The ring was placed at one end of the court and it was usually 10 metres high. It was very hard to score! Historians do not fully understand the rules and are unsure how the winning team was rewarded. Some think that they were killed so they could enter the afterlife. Others believe the losing team was killed and used as a sacrifice to the gods. Did You Know? ilisation to play a team sport The Maya were probably the first civ ball! These balls were made as they were the first to make a rubber The sap was mixed with the using sap collected from rubber trees. enabled the Maya to mould it juice of the Morning Glory vine which uld have weighed up to 3.5kg! into the shape of a ball. Each ball wo Maya playing Pok-A-Tok with photos of a ball court. Teaching Packs - Ancient Maya - Page 23 Photos ThinkStock
