EXERCISE A

Give students this task as a timed test. Allow students time to read through the notes in 1–5 before playing the tape. Do not stop the tape or allow them to talk to their neighbours in between the parts. Play the tape once.

G: Ladies and gentlemen, Chichen Itza is one of the most famous Mayan cities. But I should warn you that the stories behind the beautiful buildings we are about to visit can be frightening …even

…uh … rather horrifying.

…And here we are now in front of the Temple of Kukulcan … the God of the Mayas. The building at the top with the flat roof is the

temple itself and, as you can see, it’s quite a climb to the top. In fact, if you count the steps as we climb them, you will find that there are exactly 364 steps … and if you count the roof, it comes to 365, the same number as the days in the year. The Mayas were very interested in astronomy, you see. Their religion was based on it, and every year they would sacrifice children to the gods in this very temple …where you can see the carving of their god, Kukulcan, the snake with feathers.

…And now here we are at the top of the pyramid, and the building you can see behind us and to your right is the Observatory; can you see it over there, sir? With the round building on the top? Scientists believe that the Mayas made a number of important discoveries and observations of the stars in the Observatory. They knew a great deal about the planets. For instance, they knew that the earth was round as well as how long the years were on Mars and Venus.

…This wonderful building is known as ‘The Temple of the Warriors’; it was probably built around 1100 AD, later than the other buildings. It is also known as ‘The Thousand Columns’, because of all the columns you can see around you. This is where the soldiers of the Mayas would pray before going into battle. It is believed, by the way, that the Mayas went to war mainly in order to capture prisoners from other tribes. These prisoners were sacrificed to the gods. Perhaps they spent their last days here, among the thousand columns, before the … uh … day of the sacrifice came.

…And now we’re standing by the ‘Well of Sacrifice’ … where more sacrifices used to take place. The Mayas used to throw the bodies of their victims into the black water of the well in order to make Chac, their rain god, happy. The well was thought to be bottomless.

Perhaps you can imagine, ladies and gentlemen, the terrible screams of the victims just before they were sacrificed … right here, where we are standing now.

…And this is known as the ‘Ball Court’ … it was the scene of a very strange game. The purpose of the game was to throw a hard rubber ball through one of the rings you can see in the middle of the court. It seems that the captain and sometimes the players of the losing team were beheaded after the end of a game. Perhaps we would win the next World Cup if we started doing the same thing to the captain and players of our national football teams?!

Part 2

Ask students to read through the notes carefully before they listen to the tape. Play the tape twice before checking students’ answers.

Tapescript

Part 2

Now, ladies and gentlemen, this particular ball court was probably built in about 1194, that is to say towards the very end of the PostClassical period. At 450 feet, or 137 metres, it’s by far the longest

court to be found at any Mayan site. These two parallel walls are exactly 30 metres apart, and 8.2 metres high.

Now, it’s clear that the game was very important in Mayan society, because all the other major Mayan cities have similar buildings, although many of them are smaller and date from an earlier period. We believe that the spectators would have stood along the top of the walls and looked down, so the game was a sport that was played nationally. The game could also have been important in terms of Mayan religion – there is evidence for this theory in sculptures which show people playing the game in the presence of priests and kings.

We get a fairly good idea of the rules of the game from Mayan carvings. It appears that there were usually two sides, and between six and nine members on each team. The aim was to get the ball through one of the iron rings at the top of the wall – a little like a basketball net – except that the players couldn’t use their hands, and had to kick the ball with their feet, or knees or elbows.

The penalty for losing was sometimes death; the head of one or more members of the losing team would be presented to the winners as a prize. We know that the game was played very seriously during the major religious festivals. But there are also carvings that show winners being given coffee – coffee beans were used just like money – and sometimes, the losers simply lost their clothes to the winners, as in fact did their supporters who were watching from the top of the walls.
