Yes the Mayans did practice sacrifice. Young virgins were "given" to the Gods, Pretty young and intelligent Boys were also given. The winners of Pok-to-pok were given on special occasions and when the Mayans won a battle the leader the was defeated was given as a sacrifice. They also gave food, llamas, Jaguars, jewels and Gold
