Re: has montezuma's tomb been found ...?
Paul,
There are plenty of ball courts in Arizona. Their very location and design make them unique and exclusive to the Southwest. It's likely they got the idea from Mesoamerica, but the Hohokam or Cochise cultures are the likely perp's.
One wonders if the idea came north or actually went south. Considering the type of construction, older Southwest ball courts would probably be undetectable......dirt walls.
Wonder why pip deleted his post so quickly It's never a good idea to question his "facts".
There are possible Aztec sites throughout the Southwest. Can anyone identify one ball court, "Mesoamerican" in design?
Thank you in advance,
Joe Ribaudo
