Question
These objects name the activity of ullamaliztli (“oh-lah-mah-LEEST-lee”), which was performed at the base of the Templo Mayor. These objects were sacrificed in the bog of El Manati by the Olmec, who created them using strips from the Panama tree. One of these objects made of feathers caused Coatlicue (“ko-AHT-lee-kway”) to become pregnant with Huitzilopochtli (“WEET-see-loh-POACHED-lee”). After the Mayan Hero Twins lost an activity named for these objects, the lords of Xibalba (“shee-BALL-buh”) decapitated Hunahpú (“who-NAH-poo”). Participants would hit these objects with their hips in a Mesoamerican game named for them. For 10 points, some Aztec sacrifices were losers of a game involving hitting what objects through hoops on a court? ■END■
ANSWER: balls [accept specific types of balls such as rubber balls or game balls; accept votive balls; accept ulli accept the Mesoamerican ball game; prompt on rubber]
