US EditionMexico Sues MrBeast's Media Firm Over Maya Temple Video
- On May 10, MrBeast, the YouTube creator with the largest following worldwide, released a video documenting his visits to several of Mexico's prominent archaeological sites, including Chichén Itzá and Calakmul.
- The visit took place following official approvals requested by Mexico’s national tourism authorities along with the state governments of Yucatán and Campeche, rather than being initiated by MrBeast himself, leading to controversy over access to protected sacred sites.
- The video features MrBeast and his team inside restricted locations such as cenotes and areas near the Temple of Kukulkan, some of which are typically closed to general visitors but were accessed under the supervision of INAH officials.
- INAH stated the video contains distorted information, clarifying that events like helicopter descents and overnight stays did not happen, and described the mask shown as a modern reproduction.
- The Mexican government confirmed permits were granted but the permit details remain unknown, and cultural authorities promised appropriate sanctions if rules were violated while acknowledging the video may inspire interest in ancestral cultures.
