Chichen_Itza_19

Interesting thing about this game, is that it ended with beheading of the winning captain, by the losing captain. The belief being that this would insure a direct path to heaven (of the winning captain) as opposed to the Mayan 13 steps to heaven. Tough building winning team if you constantly beheading your captain!
