Is this documented fact or wild conjecture? Did the ancients have inflatable balls or were they bouncing solid rubber balls (bowling balls?)off their hips and into stone hoops?
The popularity of these ball games was quite widespread. I can recall “ball courts” were found in several Arizona ruins dating from 800 AD to 1400AD. The religions were different apparently but the games were similar.
