How did the Mayans worship their gods?

In: Ancient Religions, Mayans [Edit categories]

Answer:

They would bring live people to the top of one of a temple in the center of their civilization.
(The temple they went to depended on which god they were trying to worship)

Once at the very top they would sacrifice the bodies to please the god.

Also 18 times a year the losers of the ball game Tlatchli (an early for of basketball)
were sacrificed.
