6. In the video this thing looked like a giant arena.

4,000 years ago. Wonder what kind of ceremonies were held there.

7. My guess is human sacrifices or tennis.

[PatrickforO]

8. LOL Probably the former, but there might be other ceremonies too.

Or even fairs and games (not tennis though). Maybe a precursor to cricket or soccer.
