"A lot of people were wondering why and how he was granted access to these restricted locations" Mr Krabs voice: "Money"

As someone from Mexico, I can explain, people aren’t just upset because of Mr. Beast. The frustration also stems from corruption. In his video, Mr. Beast mentioned certain politicians in the video credits, instead of referring to the Mexican government as a whole. This makes it seem like those politicians are using the situation for personal gain and for future elections and It could even be interpreted as if Mr. Beast directly gave money to those specific politicians.

In 1992 weren’t to Chichen Itza it was amazing at that time everyone was allowed to climb El Castillo and go inside the top. We were also allowed to go inside the earlier temple that El Castillo was built upon to see an altar that was in the form of a jaguar.

As a Mexican with a high interest in archaeology and with acquaintances as well as common sense and after reading a lot, I can highlight several factors that triggered the controversy, and if you ask me, I consider them valid, the most important is the corruption in the whole matter, the gentleman in his video mentioned that "The Mexican government gave him permission" and yes but no, there was a request to enter the zones and it was approved by the government of the state of Campeche and the state of Yucatan as well as by the "INAH" (National Institute of Anthropology and History), the government supposedly accepted it to promote tourism, while the INAH did it for exposure, however the controversy on the part of the scientific and archaeological community comes because there are many researchers who have requested permits to both for years and have been denied again and again and again, while he was accepted in a matter of months or weeks, by the INAH there were also a couple of clauses that access would be given "For disclosure" as I mentioned, and this means that you could not show brand advertising on the video, As a result the INAH as well as the Mexican government already filed a lawsuit for breach of contract, and the rest of the controversy comes from the Mexican society, and in recent times we have had many cases of foreigners (mainly from the United States) who have not respected any of the archaeological sites, either by climbing pyramids or buildings as well as vandalism, similar to that case of the guy who wrote something in the Colosseum in Rome, This has generated a wave of contempt for the tourists who carry out these behaviors, which adds to the wave of discontent with the gentrification we have had since the pandemic with people from the United States, Canada and European countries who have come to live illegally in the country raising the prices of absolutely everything and literally taking over everything thanks to corruption again leaving without housing, work or the opportunity to even have a decent life for hundreds of Mexicans especially in the areas of the country where these archaeological sites are located

So mr beast is being forced into saying that some parts of the video faked?
@macdongr
It's so weird to see a country that cares about its history and tries to preserve it.
@beanznriceboi1
These sites arnt sacred to the point that no one is allowed to see the inside. They just closed them to public for safety liabilities. Some lady fell down the steps in the 90s and died, and ruined it for everyone.
@dmitchell05
Money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you into a temple that nobody is allowed to go in. Thanks for the thumbs up and comments. This has to be one of the dumbest comments I've ever made, and it was under duress of about 9 bourbons. But thanks anyway!

Im a Mexican that has gone to Chichen Itza many times. This is a nothin-story. The places arent cordoned off because they are sacred, they are cordoned off because people fell off the steep stairs and because tourist traffic eroded the structure. Nobody pilgrimages or prays to these structures anymore, the culture that did was massacred by the Spanish and very little to nothing remains. The structures have seen extensive restoration to what we think they looked like, the "preventing erosion" reason for the cordoning off is not out of archeological reasons but for maintenance reasons. Locals do hate people who climb the pyramids, but this is for those who do so without permission as it's the epitome of the entitled tourist who thinks rules don't apply to them. There is no indication that Mr Beast did anything wrong. He appears to have gotten the right permissions and had people with him that ensured he didn't damage the structure during his filming. That's perfectly fine. Mexican Media loves to play up shit like this and the president has to answer questions, the president answering "we'll send someone to take a look and see if he broke rules" is what you'd expect from a leader. She's taking the public's concern seriously (regardless of how stoked by the media they might be) while not jumping to any conclusions (unlike the media.)
@bekind5738
I hiked up to and inside the Temple back in 1984 during a rain storm and lightening struck the Temple . We were not hurt. It was permissible back then. Just like you could climb the Acropolis and Stonehenge back in those days. FYI , it was free.
@hawktalon2433
Damn I guess the moment one controversy hit him he decided to just say fuck it speedrun
@BladeLigerV
I think its a bit of a gray area. He does not seem to actually violate anything and he is not doing anything he has been officially told not to (cough cough Paul brothers). So i think this is getting a bit blown out of proportion.
@greanhare5270
it's not off-limits because it's sacred. It's off-limits because it's dangerous. tourists were climbing the temple stairs until someone fell down the stairs and died.

He is a businessman and an entertainer, his videos are not meant to be accurate, but to be entertaining to as many people as possible.
@garrett5974
I went in 2007 and they just let you climb up and walk in. I’ve been in that room at the top. They stopped letting people climb because a woman fell. It had nothing to do with it being sacred.
@vorpalalice82
Places like that are closed to the public due to people being destructive animals. Not because it's some big secret no one is allowed to see. There is no logical reason drone footage shouldn't be allowed.
@depreseo
Long and short - the mexican ministry that gave him the permits are being called out form their choice of "influencer" to promote these locations which even members of the mexican public aren't allowed to access (already an issues). Everything was done above board and legal, however the ministry is being called out over their poor choice of a spokesperson and they are literally being grilled over it. The controversy is that no one asked the ministry"is this person a good choice to promote these areas?" And the answer was obviously "No". And that's it. Public access to these locations was already a contentious issue and ministry shot themselves in the foot by their terrible choice in influencer to promote the areas. TLDR: the hired the wrong influencer and are now too embarrassed to admit that they hire the wrong influencer.
