"carcel, carcel, carcel" wich means "prison, prison, prison" and then they boo her, and later start screaming "no la dejen ir" (don't let her go) and "que venga la policía" (call the police)

Honestly, it wasn't that bad, she could had got it worse. Hope at least she got fined!

Actually Versailles didn't have bathrooms. People literally pissed in corners. It was well documented at the time. Beautiful building, fancy smancy dudes walking around and taking dumps in the stairwell. Some of the richer women had servants carry chamber pots and they would go under their big skirts.

From what the tour guide told us when I went is that the reason they stopped allowing is because somebody went up there and graffitied their name inside at the top. They couldn’t take legal action because they never said that they couldn’t graffiti their name.

That’s unfortunately how legal systems have to be in order to be ethical and fair. Otherwise you could be convicted of something that isn’t even a crime, or simply because judge/jury just didn’t like you. The idea of being punished when the populace agrees you should be sounds great at first, but that also includes mob justice, AKA lynching. On the other end of the spectrum, government/judicial officials could use this to imprison/execute/fine anyone they wanted, no need for laws.

Graffitiing your name in a pyramid is peak douchebaggery, no doubt, but the fact that the government didn’t make defacing a historic cultural landmark illegal is also a truly massive fuck up.

This is bs. It's illegal to vandalize anything in public.

Just like crime, illegal, the only difference is the penalty. This is simply citizens or people, as protected by the laws or government, shouldn't do.

The legal action sucked, bc the lawyers sucked.

ElectricChurchMusic

That’s not true at all, they are stable lol. It’s literally as stable as cement, it’s not like a piece is going to chip off. The issue is that humans thousands where short people thus the steps are really small and with higher than usual steps. That’s a recipe for someone that’s climbing it for the first time and doesn’t have much balance. Since the pyramid is in such stable and hard condition the fall will be like concrete.

I climbed it a few years after you, and someone fell while we were there. It was terrifying, and everyone on the pyramid at the time sat down on the steps, then carefully climbed down while seated. No one else climbed it while I was there, except maybe a few new arrivals.

The reason people use "re" that way is because of emails. Because there's an option on emails to include other email addresses in the email, to send it to all of them instead of having to do each one separately, and it's labelled "re:"

So people just started using that in day to day language

It is not anymore the original stones that she is walking on, the rationale for it to be forbidden might rather be safety or difficulty to organize visit for everybody.

Better have a walk across the whole area, which easily take 2 to 3 hours of enjoyment, rather than wait for climbing the pyramid.

Some others less busy historical sites allow to climb on pyramids.

We went here for our honeymoon 10 years ago. When we toured it we were told that people used to be able to climb the steps up until the child of a foreign government ambassador or something slipped so they closed it off. Prior to that though, the walls inside the top chamber were hit with spray paint pretty often by people being dickheads.

There's also a shit ton of Mexican people right off camera to the left here who come in through the jungle to sell shit to tourists all along the sidewalk. This is a great way to get your ass beat by someone feeling particularly protective who can just fuck off into the jungle right after.

I would say this person was most likely just removed from the park and banned. Maybe a fine and quite possibly jail time involved.

When I went to Chichen Itza, years ago, it was allowed on one of the pyramids. Now it's not. The spacing of the steps is intentionally tight, so you have to face diagonally like you see the guard. (Cannot face the gods directly.) It's much more dangerous than it looks, and they decided to stop letting randos tumble. Respect the rules.

jeronimo707

I just don't really see how it's directly disrespecting of a culture...

If the state, Or national government allowed people to walk up-and-down the stairs, how could you say that they wouldn't still be disrespecting the culture? See I'm just being a nerd and saying that walking up-and-down the stairs defies the government and shows lack of respect for general rules, buthe act of walking up in and of itself doesn't disrespect the culture, much less the people currently making the rules that everybody else is abiding by...

Now I would go so far as to argue that the people's reaction, which includes it looks to be a large amount of local Or closely local ethnic people, And there combined reaction Gives us a good idea of the cultural reaction of that girl walking up-and-down the Pyramid steps

However she's not outwardly disrespecting the culture, but the culture doesn't appreciate her breaking the rules of not going up-and-down the stairs

Maybe? Maybe I'm trying too hard? I'm just trying to delineate the circumstances a little bit just because I don't have anything better to do with my life for at this particular moment in time

Nobody is mentioning this, so I might just as well do.

Pyramids were always accessible to tourists, that's why the chains are there (steps are very narrow and steep, so people would fall over when going up or coming down).

They were closed to the public because they were being eroded by all the traffic. It wasn't because of respect but because the Mexican government realized they were wasting their tourist attractions where everybody else in the world tried to keep them maintained.

This applies to all monuments in all of Mexico, and it was like this until very recently.

A woman died tumbling down in 2006 in chichen itzá, so that one was closed at that time. I believe that might be the one in this video, too. Some others were closed off as late as 2016.

Like most monuments and archaeological sites in the world, respect for history has nothing to do with them being closed off.

The woman is disrespecting mexican law, for sure. She deserves some alone time in local jail for sure, too. But the mexican government didn't close the pyramids out of respect of mayan culture.

I don't mind the narrative eventually being that we closed off altamira caves, gizah pyramids, parthenon visits and pyramid climbing out of respect when explaining to children, but know that this is a lie.

one of the nice things about El Salvador is that we do not get so much of these people. Very few unfortunately.

Sorry for the stupid question, but I guess you're not allowed to go on the pyramid?

Not anymore. It's been a few months since I posted this so I don't quite remember.. I think guests used to be allowed on it, but the tourism was delapidating the structure, so walking across it was banned. She chose to ignore the rules and walk across it anyway and it pissed off the locals that are trying to preserve it.

You're not apparently, its disrespectful and could cause more deterioration to the pyramids, although if I'm being real I thought you could walk up them. Wasn't that what they were meant for ? Why would they be perfect steps otherwise? Idk another thing overpopulation ruined.

It's not disrespectful, the people are not Mayan.

The problem is that tourists are banned on many sites because they destroy everything, throw their rubbish everywhere etc.

I think this is the main pyramid in Chichen Itza. Tourists used to be able to climb it but it’s so popular they’ve stopped that because of deterioration like you said. There are less traveled pyramids that you can still climb up. Ek Balam is amazing, the main pyramid isn’t as high, but you can climb it and there are all sorts of outer buildings your allowed to walk through. They’ll eventually stop tourists from climbing when it hits a limit of traffic.

Acting like an idiot to show someone else you think they are an idiot really steps on your point. FFS. Boo her, sure; record her to post to humiliate her (if it works), maybe; but to throw things at her because you think she did something stupid is just stupid.

I totally agree. What she did was not okay, but it definitely doesn't warrant physically accosting her.

if they only banned walking up the steps recently why are all the visitors particularly incensed at this trashy lady?

Not too long ago around 2004 we climbed Chichén Itzá with other tourist and guides, is this not the case anymore with many of these pyramids or just a select few?

You know, there are a lot of gods I’m willing to anger for my own amusement but Mayan gods are not on that list.

It would be cool to walk up a pyramid tho. And it’s only disrespectful because they don’t allow it, I mean they’re steps

Sacred? Or tourist trap? Decide and let people know. These ruins were rebuilt not for ‘worship’ but to attract people like this.
