It happened again. Apparently, tourists take to heart that “the forbidden is the most exciting” and once again, they wanted to ignore the law by visiting the Chichen-Itzá pyramid, in the Yucatan peninsula, Mexico, and getting on it despite the fact that it has been strictly prohibited for years.
Just a couple of months ago, a foreign woman who was nicknamed “Lady Chichen-Itzá” went viral precisely for climbing the temple of Kukulcán and when she went down, those present almost lynched her for her lack of respect. Apparently, nothing was learned from that because now once again a tourist climbed the pyramid, without expecting that when he came down, they would receive him with a stick in hand.
Of course, there is also a video of this and it went viral both because of the action of the man from Poland who ignored the signs and the rules that indicate that you cannot climb this pyramid and because of the reactions of the people present, who were very outraged. seeing this disrespect of the man.
It cannot be denied that visiting archaeological sites is a magnificent experience, but, for this reason, there are restrictions, in order to preserve these sites of great value for cultural heritage in the best possible way so that they can last much longer.
In the clip you can see how the authorities lower this man from above and below were some angry people. One of them has a long wooden stick, with which he would later hit the Pole right on the head while everyone ran him out of the place shouting… until the blow sounded.
Although it is not known for sure what happened to the tourist, he probably got a chipote and will have to pay a fine for violating the security cordon and climbing the pyramid, which has been prohibited since 2008, since being able to do so does not mean that you have to do it. On the other hand, the man who brought the stick should not have acted violently, but he came to be the hero for many. Below we show you the video.
Another time a foreigner went up to Chichén Itzá, and this time they even hit him with shovels. This man from Poland ignored the shoelaces, here is the video:
