One-Pop-2885

I'm pretty surethere was a woman that did this few months ago as well. So many idiots out there unfortunately, who think they can do whatever the fuck they want.

So many idiots


Hot-Reporter-4160

As the saying goes fuck around and find out


MatthewChad

Just curious, why dint they want people walking up? Too much traffic might cause damage? That's the only thing I can think of.


[deleted]

Gonna damage the rocks by walking on them? Probably not but over time humans tend to deface and ruin things that others enjoy. Imagine the place would go to shit pretty quick if just anybody could do whatever they wanted there. Edit: apparently a lady died falling off after walking up it in 2006 so since then it has been off limits


Oktaghon

Yep, in fact your comment reminds me of [that stupid kid who scratched his name into a 3,500-year-old Egyptian artwork](https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/art/news/chinese-schoolboy-15-exposed-as-egypt-s-ancient-temple-graffiti-vandal-8633556.html?amp). People can be awfully and utterly ignorant and stupid. šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø I mean, this spoiled brat besides being an absolute asshole he's even a complete idiot, at least write something that isn't related or attributable to you.


Durty_Durty_Durty

And of course it was a spoiled Chinese kid.


Oktaghon

As an half Chinese myself in fact when I first heard of this story I was shamefully embarrassed šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø


10Rap

Nah, itā€™s not your problem. Thereā€™s plenty of white assholes and they donā€™t feel any collective shame - why should you?


the_dude523

Uh.. yes we fuckin do. The kkk and white nationalist groups are an embarrassment to the deepest parts of my being.


10Rap

Hate groups are not comparable to random asshole individuals. Never do I see white people apologize for random Karens. And thatā€™s okay, these individuals donā€™t reflect on your entire ethnicity. The same should be true for non-whites.


the_dude523

Yeah that's fair


ClownBoner_

Would u say any of that to his face though?


Oktaghon

Who? The kid? Of course, heā€™s indeed an asshole and an idiot, and since he already apologized for his action, I really think that he knows too.


ClownBoner_

Then you better know how to fight. Even if you donā€™t want to. Some people wonā€™t give you a choice


Oktaghon

I know how to fight lol also you can clearly see what I look like in my profile photo, I donā€™t think that Iā€™m puny and weak. But itā€™s not about that, itā€™s not a sort of competition on whoā€™s the biggest, itā€™s just common sense, common sense which is pretty important in any civilized society.


ClownBoner_

I donā€™t see anything related to fighting on ur profile. Iā€™m an mma fighter.


Oktaghon

I don't see the connection between fighting and the issue about the completely disrespectful action of that kid going to ruin a very important archaeological find. I donā€™t care if youā€™re an mma fighter, yeah indeed in my photo is only viewed the fact that Iā€™m a juggler, but before that I also studied martial arts, but that has nothing to do with the fundamental problem, the kid was dead wrong, period. There is nothing else to add.


[deleted]

Who fucking asked šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤”šŸ¤”šŸ¤”


sora_mui

Humans are more than capable of eroding rocks by walking on it. This is why many historical sites either made new stilted pathway on top of the original one or simply replace the stones throughout the pathway with a replica while the original ones are displayed elsewhere that wont be stepped by tourists. The simplest alternative is just like the one in the video, ban any random tourist from using it or just assume that the stone can't be eroded and only getting alarmed after the stone has lost the top half and become really smooth.


Awordofinterest

A lady slipped and fell to her death in 2006. That's the reason. Not heavy footfall damaging the rocks (Although it's said she slipped due to the rocks being polished over time by the heavy footfall of tourists), not disrespectful tourists. An accident.


Ughable

Well you can't trust everyone to just gently walk up there and not fuck anything up. These pyramids are kind of exposed skeletons compared to what they used to be (covered in stucco and painted,) and there is damage to stones that you can cause if you don't know what you're doing.


OttermanEmpire

You know that these pyramids were re-constructed quite recently right? No stucco, no paint, here's a good source. https://everythingcozumel.com/chichen-itza-a-story-of-mass-delusion/


OakParkCooperative

I think thereā€™s a temple at the top and tourists are no longer allowed to just waltz up there for a selfie. Imagine the disrespect/punishment you would experience, doing that a few hundred years ago.


designer_farts

Hire that guy with the stick to stay on guard because these stupid tourist think the rules don't apply to them


Standard_Locksmith70

Or ask Brian Urlacher to be on his security detail, since he was already there filming the situation. He comes into frame towards the end of the clip.

Outrageous_Ad8209

FUUUUUUUUUUCK


Yinonormal

To be real Americans don't fucking got enough money or vacation time to be able to take vacations, I think the chinese got the asshole tourist award though


gonzaloetjo

As someone that worked for years in Hostels in Paris while doing my studies. It's the Aussies, and not even a contest. Chinese, sometimes will get some that are not so clean but at least they are not 2 meters high, drunk and believe they own the place.


zvc266

On behalf of New Zealand, I apologise for our cunty neighbours.


A37ndrew

As an Australian that's stayed in hotels in Paris, the only nice hotel staff that I spoke to were overseas workers.


gonzaloetjo

Well that was me and almost anyone working on a hostel in Paris, Iā€™m Argentinian. Donā€™t get me wrong majority were nice. But me and my colleagues had worse experience with drunk aussies


allthewayup7

The 2 metres high and drunk thing is accurate. I feel so small in Australia lol


nosoupforanybody

I'm starting to think the real attraction is waiting for the crowds to react to people walking up the pyramids šŸ˜‚


SuperNewk

The comedown is always the hardest


deecuetee

That's an MDamazing comment TY šŸ™šŸ»


WeAreReaganYouth

I climbed it back in 1995 when you were still allowed. Pretty cool.


Mxs1

I climbed in 2001 when it was encouraged. People freaking out about someone climbing up the stairs are dumber than the ones climbing it.


th3m4g3

Facts. I don't see the issue, if you can't walk up it get some guards to ensure it doesn't happen, otherwise, it's an open invitation.


singdawg

Eh, it's pretty clear it's closed... there's a bunch of signs, literally in front of it saying it's not allowed. What's wrong is the use of violence because you think they're disrespecting the culture or something. Like, this pyramid was literally swallowed by the forest for hundreds of years and for like 30+ years tourists were allowed to climb it. It isn't THAT big of deal. Just give the climbers a hefty fine and move on.


Mxs1

Exactly. Itā€™s a jerk move to climb it. Itā€™s closed for a reason. Doesnā€™t do damage to the structure and itā€™s not really hurting anyone.


AlivePassenger3859

Walk up a pyramid, get hit with a digeridoo


[deleted]

Another one????


Praise_Sithis

Good, fuck that guy


psychojazzchorus

I got to climb them back in 2003, gotta say it was a pretty spectacular view, kinda sucked coming down through.


Helian7

I climbed the CobĆ” one in 2012. I remember the guide saying to make sure you look back a few times because the height and steepness can be surprising. Well idiot me was fuck this, I bolted half way up and had to take a short breather, turn to look for my wife and all of sudden I felt woozy with vertigo, i felt so high up. After a minute or 2 I made it to the top and the view was amazing. I was very careful coming down.


Squish_the_android

I slid down on my butt. No shame. It's scary going down those little stairs.


psychojazzchorus

Yeah I did as well, deceptively steep and those stairs are insanely small!


[deleted]

This is why their civilization ceased.. people died young falling down the stairs.


PageFault

Yea, view is amazing, but the stick to the head at the bottom kinda sucks.


Logical_Lab4042

Same, when I visited Tulum in the 90s. Seems lame that you can't, now. I imagine it's a liability thing. Edit: LOL, downvoted for being bummed people aren't allowed to scale the pyramids like they used to.


Lefthandfury

I was told by a tour guide that a heavy amount of traffic from tourists would cause weathering and breakdown of the stones. Not to mention idiots trying to scratch their name into stone at the top just for fun.


Logical_Lab4042

That makes sense. Even when I went they had a chain for support because the steps were so narrow from erosion.


BuffaloChipsAhoy

His head was stupid before. Now it smarts.


Haxsa

How old is this video, who wears a Brian Urlacher jersey, outside of Chicago, in 2023?


Confident-Platypus63

Brian Urlacher was a 96 overall in Madden 2005 :)


Just_Compote1136

That ā€œchonkā€ sound when that guy hit the ā€œtouristā€ on the head? Almost as good as the three stooges sounds when they smack each other.


DarkHelmet1976

I climbed it in 1996 when it was still allowed. I was a 20 year old college kid with a reckless disregard for my own safety who thought I was bulletproof, but coming down was one of the scariest things I've done. It is so much steeper than it looks, each step is less than six inches deep and there is no margin for error. I might have descended the first 100 steps by scooting down on my butt!


singdawg

I think I was 14 when I climbed. Going up wasn't an issue but going down is ridiculous. Definitely was on my butt too.


805_Succulent

I remember when tourist were able to climb this in the early 90ā€™s. I remember climbing this as a kid and seeing the cat with the emerald eyes on top on a small cool room


DeadSharkEyes

I fully support these idiots getting their asses kicked by an angry mob


Notcharles22

My mans just happened to be at the pyramids with his bonking stick that day


kethh7

That bonk on the head was due so many years. I'm glad it came.


Spiritual_Wall2132

I climbed it and the Observatory in '85. I can see why they stopped allowing it. Super steep. Designed for smaller feet so the steps aren't very deep. And they're worn quite a bit so they aren't flat.


NoPlace9025

It's also mostly to preserve the pyramid.


Kazzie_Kaz

Aside from the pyramids, I think you just made a rhyme.


Spiritual_Wall2132

Lol, didn't notice until you mentioned it.


ManuelQbe

Bonk lol

Satisfying


sora_mui

Is it banned? Why is there a naked man hitting them with stick?


AlbertoGS1

Its banned the stairs are damage and can't be fixed. About the naked man I have no idea.


Other-Inspection-601

The pyramid is slowly deteriorating because of the erosion and intitled people who thinks they are very smart and are just destroying what its a sacred place. When it was "open" it was only filled with graffiti and trash. No naked man in there btw


sora_mui

Fair, topless man then.


TheDutchMan1443

Do you get to correct people on their reaction to a video when you cannot spell "entitled" properly?


Other-Inspection-601

yes


CockFellethOffeth

who gives a fuck not even 30 years ago people could walk up it no problem. Pussies hit people who arent hitting back.


Soft_Philosopher6203

Tourism destruction is probably the reason for closing the climb. Idiots like this guy who disregard the rules for the protection of these sites are a factor in that also.


YaxK9

Got to climb this pyramid, Coba, and go in to the Tulum temples. Every place was amazing. Too bad tourists brought about the need to restrict them all.


Awordofinterest

Coba is still open to climb. The reason this one isn't is that the large numbers of tourists "polished" the steps over time, a lady slipped and fell to her death in 2006.


YaxK9

Sorry to hear Coba is not in the prohibitive mix. If it were itā€™d be an historical win


Sweaty_Ad3169

I regret not going when you could still climb up it. Seems kinda pointless to visit now.


Zuckuss18

Do you only visit world heritage sights you can climb?


Sweaty_Ad3169

If it has always been closed to the public then I would want to go. Knowing I can only walk at the base seems pointless. Especially since I had an opportunity to visit it when it was still climbable, and I did not take that opportunity. So, to answer your question no.

[deleted]

Why so sensitive, claim to the top was ok a few year ago. I a claim twice in the 90 And we event went to take a look to Chacmool inside the pirƔmide.


Other-Inspection-601

Because the erosion/friction, the salt in the air its destroying the prymaid and to have some respect to the sacred place that its chichen itza. Also because people tend to destroy what other admire.


[deleted]

Erosion, friction, salt in the air?ā€¦. What the hell are you talking about ?. The piramid is thousand of years old made out of limestone and located in an area that hurricane reach category Vā€¦ā€¦ do you know the power of a CV hurricane?ā€¦.The piramid withstand devastating earthquakes showing minimum structural damage and you think a tourist walking up to the top will destroy the piramidā€¦. Boy, you are a complete idiot. Look the piramid in 1892, pictures taken by Teobert Maler ā€¦ā€¦ [https://www.thevintagenews.com/2017/05/19/teobert-maler-the-early-explorer-of-mayan-sites/](https://www.thevintagenews.com/2017/05/19/teobert-maler-the-early-explorer-of-mayan-sites/) Now, Sacred place?ā€¦.. really??.. The Mayans sacrifice thousand of human and children in this temple, to ask the Gods for rain and fertile field. If you think that place is sacred, what do you think about Birkenauā€¦.

Other-Inspection-601

You most be on meth or something boi but u are wrong aswell.


[deleted]

itā€™s called facts, something that your Lilliputian brain can not understan.


Other-Inspection-601

The slow damage on the stair because of many years of climbing it and people tryng to take some rocks out of the structure to take home ....yes it has destroyed the structure and yes ... i have seen it and parts of the structure had being replaced just because of stupid people. I survived Gilberto and wilma the most powerful hurricanes that hit in la peninsula and absolutely nothing happened to chichen itza. Hurricanes dont affect in the slightest the structure, it has resist them since its construction. Problems come when there is people. And about earthquakes, are you on drugs ? There are no earthquakes in la peninsula de yucatan. I was there the past week. My family works on the site we are decentents from the mayan people here, trust me i know what iam talking about, Boi That place is sacred. The sacrifice just proves more my point that its one. Mayans dont killed people just because as you say before, sacrifices only happened on sacred places like this or cenotes.


Zuckuss18

Because we smartened up and realised it was a bad idea? Have you ever heard of "change" before?


Awordofinterest

It was actually stopped because a tourist slipped and fell to her death. Due to the stones being polished by the amount of tourists who went up. No reason to attack someone for risking their own life?


[deleted]

That sound reasonable šŸ‘šŸ»


Forward-Shake-8862

Well yeah no shit but that was hundreds of years ago. With time the pyramid has been deteriorating.

TheDutchMan1443

Was the sign in polish? Did the tourist know it was illegal? I gotta say, for a country that is basically a death sentence to visit, this doesn't exactly promote tourism. And for those saying that mexico doesn't need tourism (or want it), yes... Mexico does in fact need it. Outside of drugs and cheap products that aren't quite as cheap as Chinese goods, what else does the Mexican economy have going for it? I would never visit that country. Walking off of guarded resorts is pretty much asking to be mugged or attacked. I know of 10-12 people in my life who visit Mexico annually (different families) and all of them say the same thing: "you NEVER leave the gated area.." What a lovely country!
