When You Disrespecting Mayan Culture And Sacred Place You Will Be Punished By Locals

An unidentified tourist was seen climbing the steps of the historical monument and dances there, which is known as the Temple of Kukulcán. The pyramid lies in the centre of the Chichen Itza, an archaeological site in Yucatán.

The pyramid is an important and sacred ancient site of the Mayans, it has also been selected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This pyramid has a rule that tourists are absolutely forbidden to climb up because it is dangerous for them, but it also damages the foundations of the pyramid without them knowing it.

Although there is a ban on climbing, these tourists do not care about the rules. The officer was soon able to persuade the woman to walk down the pyramid. As she walked through the crowd, there were people shouting and cursing this woman. Some angry locals threw water and bottles and cursed at her and while others could be heard chanting “lock her up” and “jail, jail,” in Spanish.

The woman was arrested by Tinum Municipal Police and fined in accordance with Article 55 of the Federal Law on Archaeological, Artistic and Historical Monuments and expected to be fined in the amount 50,000-100,000 Mexican Peso (approximately $2574 - $5148)
