Archaeologists and cultural promoters asked yesterday that the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) authorized a special visit to the American YouTube Mrbeast to travel to the archaeological areas of Calakmul, BalamCanché and Chichen ITZá, two of which are the cultural heritage of humanity, with access to spaces that are not part of the general visit.
In response, INAH stated that “the visit and registration that was implemented in the archaeological areas of Calakmul (Campeche) and in Chichén Itzá and Balamcanché (Yucatán), were presented according to the applications provided by the Federal Tourism Secretariat and the two statements mentioned” and registration of registration covered with rights.

But before “despite the distorted information provided by YouTube, the spread of this type of material can stimulate the interest in the small masses in Mexico and the world to know the cultures of our ancestors and visit archaeological sites that are a valuable national heritage.”
In an interview with joineryThe archaeologist Adriana Villazkuiz, director of the Enah Campshi Center, explained that the statement was authorized by coordinating legal affairs in Eh, that Utiper did not spend the night between the remains, but at the Calcol Hotel, there was no scenario to find out what would be recorded, in addition to the truth around which Calakm, Arredondo, who rented the production, which accompanied what was accompanied by what he knew as a “modern Improvised. ”
In addition, he made it clear that it is not an academic video. “The video is dedicated to a young audience, it is not academic or scientifically. I understand that he has the function of publishing the presence of Calakmul and some of its main structures. I think you do not have to see it as an academic video, because it is definitely not, and then it contains a lot of production, (although) (although it is not completely accurate.”
Doesn’t it seem to have spoken to the audience? “I think it is normal for the type of video that it is. If it is an academic video, I will not have this type of information. I think who is interested in knowing more about Calakmul will have to deal with the Videos that I Inah and other academic institutions … you have to see it as an entertainment video.”
¿How common is this type of permits, because the archaeological area is closed at a certain time? “Yes, but sometimes, not only in this, when they ask for additional time, they are asked to pay the extraordinary day of the site on the site.”
Why was the second structure of Calakmul, which is restricted? “It is not an open area for the public, but visits are made in the end, for example, with the National Committee for Protected Natural Zones.”
Why allowed the night to spend on the site? “There was no night, they spent some time at night, but they did not stay there. It was a day of filming, the site did not approach the visit, and they were in the afternoon in the second temple, and they went to eat, then they made Thomas at about 7:00 pm.”
He commented that the Campshi government made it clear from the beginning that the goal of the visit is to attract visitors. Currently, Calakmul receives about 4000 visitors per month, but he admitted that he could receive even twice as flock.
