MrBeast's Mexico Trip Sparks Archaeological Permit Controversy
Mexico Investigates MrBeast's Visit to Ancient Mayan Sites Mexico City – A controversy has erupted following a visit by popular YouTuber MrBeast to several Mayan archaeological sites in Mexico. President Claudia Sheinbaum has ordered an investigation into the permits granted for filming at the sites. The National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) has stated that MrBeast's claims in his video, titled "Survived 100 Hours Inside an Ancient Temple," are largely false, and that he did not sleep inside any archaeological zone. MrBeast has since changed the title of his video. Adding to the complexity, Layda Sansores, the governor of Campeche, defended MrBeast, claiming he followed all necessary procedures and had the proper permits. This incident highlights the ongoing debate about the preservation of historical sites and responsible tourism practices. "It's not that he entered without the INAH's permission," Sheinbaum stated at a press conference, "we're going to find out exactly what the report says." The situation underscores the need for clear guidelines and enforcement of regulations to protect Mexico's invaluable cultural heritage.
