Angry Mob boos US tourist who climbed a protected Mayan pyramid in Mexico: 'lock her up'

Lock her up!

Lock her up!

Lol.

Can you hear them in the background?

"Idiota!"

"Estupida!"

Rofl.

Damn, that really was a mob.

Are there any Mexicans here? Is this an organic reaction or is this a crowd of other tourists getting their mob on? Don't come for me, I'm not excusing this dumbass, but there's something tempting about being a part of that kind of juicy collective condemnation that I think some of us love a little too much.

Would also like to know how clear it was that climbing this structure was not OK. Is this just a moron we're dealing with, or a consciously malicious moron?

Allegedly a Spanish woman, not American.

Visitors were historically allowed to climb it until not too long ago, so while this is very rude, it's not as though she is the first person to be up there since the time of human sacrifices. Thousands of tourists used to tramp up and down those steps all day long.

Well I guess she won't be doing THAT again!

This is pretty ugly and fucked up.

That mob looks like they were ready to tear her apart..lol.

I don't like people who climb old ass pyramids especially when it's against the rules, but the water bottle throwing and grabbing her by the hair is over the top.

There's something sick about abusing someone and then turning to smile at another person. I want no part of a hive mind mob mentality and I actively try to avoid such stupidity.

I climbed it when they had the rope at least to hold onto going up and down. I was hungover from tequila the night before and my vertigo was wicked. It was freezing inside the moon temple at the top. Freezing! Very cool though to see it up close.

How did she get up there anyway? Doesn't it have security or something?

I hope she got diarrhea!

She's lucky they didn't rip out her beating heart! Oh, wait, that was the Aztecs.

Suddenly, last summer.

Who were those people escorting her?

They look like tour guides.

If so, why in hell didn't they tell her not to climb the pyramid?

R15 This seems like some stunt.

Deplorable !

I also have climbed the pyramid, in 90 degree temps. Everyone used to be able to.

[quote]Would also like to know how clear it was that climbing this structure was not OK.

What the fuck is wrong with you? It's an ancient temple, not a jungle gym. When you're visiting another country it's expected that you act with respect towards property, history and culture. You don't treat ancient artifacts like they're your own playground for acting out and making a spectacle of yourself. When you're in another country you shouldn't be acting like this at all. Show respect and restraint. Watch the locals for cues. Don't stand out. Be quiet and observe.

Normal people don't need this explained to them. Seriously, what is wrong with you?

She was dumb to provoke the crowd by dancing in that taunting way

When I went there it was pretty clear you were not to climb El Catillo

I didn't read the part about her dancing, so I looked up the Tiktok video.

She's ridiculous.

She looks like one of the Wayans brothers in White Chicks.

The bitch is just lucky they didn't sacrifice her at the top of the pyramid.

So some stupid b**** climb some old ass stairs big f****** deal. Like I don't think when the gods commanded a temple to be built there was like you know an expiration date or an out of commission date I'm pretty sure they want somebody up there worshiping so really she's just trying to not defy Gods.

[quote] Would also like to know how clear it was that climbing this structure was not OK.

In the video at R22, you can see (right as she arrives at the bottom of the steps) that there's a black railing surrounding the entire pyramid.

I think that's message enough.

She must be...sacrificed!

I thought only American culture was violent.

Not r3, I'm not defending that idiot tourist, but you really need to get a grip.

First, as others have pointed out, the ban on climbing is only from 2008, so it's not as if it's a sacred holy ground that shouldn't be desecrated.

Second, MANY similar World Heritage sites from Angkor Wat to Machu Picchu allow tourists to climb extensively through them, so asking how well it was marked is a legitimate question.

That person's behavior was terrible, but ignoring the restriction a legal violation, not moral one. Now, her behavior while climbing and dancing on the site was disrespectful, but the actual climbing itself wasn't some cultural transgression.

r19, that troll doesn't work after MULTIPLE people have explained that you used to be able to climb the pyramid.

My mistake, I didn't see r29's post until I hit post on my reply at r30. Apparently the fake outrage insult troll DOES work on DL, even when it's obvious.

Oh, we do have fun on the Datalounge.

Fuck around and find out, as they say I guess she did.

She'll be breaking to Kaaba next to take a dump. Good luck, sis.

I also climbed it years ago. It has 91 steps and each one is about a foot high, so on a hot and humid day it's grueling.

Coming down was much more difficult. The guide recommended putting your feet diagonally because the depth of each step is shorter than a lot of people's feet. I stayed toward the edge away from people using the rope or going down 1 step at a time on their butts.

It's an amazing structure - the 91 steps per side plus the final shared step at the top = 365 for the days of the year. It makes you wonder how in the hell did they cut the stones so perfectly and build so high without modern tools and cranes.

r4, it doesn't matter. We'll get blamed regardless.

"First, as others have pointed out, the ban on climbing is only from 2008,"

You think it takes longer than fourteen years to figure out that a barrier around a building means the general public doesn't have access to it?

I don't understand the argument that this was okay because it was allowed 14 years ago. Are we to believe that this yahoo was there 14 years ago and did her little dance with approval and permission from the locals, and then came back and just innocently relived the moment in 2022, somehow faultlessly unaware of a black metal barrier and copious signage surrounding the structure?

Seriously? The trolls here are dumber than ever.

Is that a woman or a “woman”?

This is fake. I have no idea why, but this was staged.

She does look like a plastic surgery lollapalooza. And that awful frizzy bleached blonde hair... oh my.

LOL - no, Rose. I pointed out that the ban is relatively recent to highlight the fact that the accusation of climbing it as being some sort of heretical transgression against an entire culture and civilization is a bit extreme and that the ban was not a ban of "cultural significance" but based on other considerations.

I climbed it in 2001. Everyone was doing it.

They've angered because she's disrespecting the rules meant to protect the structure, unlike everyone else present. People hate entitled assholes, who knew!?

Always a white woman doing this kind of shit...

Maybe she was looking for the manager of Chichen Itza?

I was just there last month. Can’t believe some dumb cunt did that. It’s literally roped off.

[quote]I pointed out that the ban is relatively recent to highlight the fact that the accusation of climbing it as being some sort of heretical transgression against an entire culture and civilization is a bit extreme and that the ban was not a ban of "cultural significance" but based on other considerations.

It's simpler than all that. The rules are in place simply to protect an historic structure from the effects of 2.5M tourists who visit it annually.

In the 1840s trees grew out of the Temple of Kukulcán, and until recent years visitors could climb its steps. Both of those things have changed, both in the interests of preserving the structure.

Probably another thirsty cunt trying to get content for her garbage social media. These self-centered bitches should be locked up and hit with hefty fines.

[quotes]These self-centered bitches should be locked up and hit with hefty fines.

Or their heads lopped off to roll down the ancient steps.

Huītzilōpōchtli is very angry,

Apparently the woman is a MEXICAN Latina.

"Lady Chichén Itzá"

She got what she deserved. People are getting really sick of these self important Instahos who think everything is about them. Snatch that weave!

r28

Oh, did you, Honey?

If she was indeed a Spanish bitch, of course natives would take it as an offense for the cunt to climb the pyramid and dance to mock them. It's not like her people didn't eradicate the mexicas or anything...

Her strawberry milkshake leggings brought all the boys to the yard.

"LOL - no, Rose."

Don't "Rose" me when you make an idiotic statement and then claim you were implying something else entirely.

But the "LOL" does seem more your speed.

Stick to that.

R19 is having a Grand Maul Seizure!

I need to reference my casta painting to fully understand the dynamics here.

Another in our society who decides the rules don't apply to her and YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO, DON'T TREAD ON ME, THAT'S TYRANNY! Dumb cunt, I'm glad she got a mob smack.

She’s not American.

Shitstirring OP.

She danced up on the pyramid because she is a dumb cunt who thought the crowd was catcalling her in approval.

When I saw people taking flash photos in the Sistine Chapel, completely ignoring the signs not to do so (it destroys thr paint pigment), I wanted to do a lot more than throw water and pull hair.

Since the ban has only been in effect since 2008, I don't see how this is "disrespectful". Seems like it's just a safety precaution - she was only endangering herself, no need for a mob to get worked up about it.

As if Mexicans are so invested in Mayan ruins. It's a weird reaction from the crowd.

R19, you’re at the Datalounge. As a visiting frau, please observe our posted rules.

“You don't treat ancient artifacts like they're your own playground for acting out and making a spectacle of yourself.

When you're in another country you shouldn't be acting like this at all.

Show respect and restraint.

Watch the locals for cues.

Don't stand out.

Be quiet and observe.”

If a Mayan tried to step to me I’d tell him to where to go

Not the angry boos!!

That heckin chica did war crimerinooooos!

I’VE ALWAYS BEEN MUY INVESTED IN LOS RUINS DE LOS MAYANS, YOU FUK!!!!

Ironic that some people here on DL are defending her.

Is this not the same board which was handing down the death penalty to protesters who touched DaVinci's artwork or something?

They weren't DaVinci's sturdy stone steps.

R73, DL is full of idiot contrarians. They have no consistent logic. Every opinion is a funhouse mirror they throw up against any other opinion or assertion. They live to condescend to people over pointless dissent. They're morons of the highest order.

I had to laugh when she reached the bottom of the stairs, when she thought she would be welcomed with cheers.

Instead, she was pelted with rocks and doused with water.

That was hilarious!!

I haven't seen a single person defending her. Some people are curious about the signs and instructions not to climb the pyramid (I was one of the curious people, because I haven't visited this place so wasn't sure). That doesn't mean anyone thinks this was a good or smart idea. If it matters I can state categorically that it was very stupid and careless of her to do this.

Even old ladies were pulling her hair!

Lol

R73, because this behavior was against those filthy brown people who don't count as human. DL's reaction is no surprise. So many garbage humans who go off about "woke" and use the whole "both sides" argument when comparing left-wing nonsense to right-wing violence and discriminatory legislation.

She should just go climb the ruins in Tikal.

No one is excusing this woman. Quote anyone in this thread doing so. Quote any racism you have read in this thread.

WEAVE SNATCH THAT HO

Typical American tourist: rude, dumb, arrogant and obnoxious. Oh wait, I also forgot fat and religious.

R77/R81 Having had a look through the thread it doesn't look like anyone was outright defending her. But there's definitely a more lenient approach applied. Earlier posts noting that the ban is "only from 2008" as an example.

And the description of her detractors as a "mob" is a bit slanted against them and victimizes her a bit.

No way was DL doing that when people were touching DaVinci's artwork. People here seemed happy to join the mob in condemning them without showing an ounce of sympathy.

She's a

R75 and that's why we're here - they're fun to watch.

I climbed it before they put a stop to that, sometime in the 00's, and coming down, as noted above, is 91 steps of slippery hell. Or maybe I had the wrong shoes. Anyway, those stones have been smoothed by the centuries. How she got down them staying upright let alone "danced," especially if she were high or whatever, is a small miracle.

So "Yes," of course she's an asshole, but not one without talent.

When I was there nobody was allowed to climb.

I think they said it was because it was dangerous and that some people had died falling from the structure.

Those steps do look pretty steep.

You can climb the pyramids of the Sun and The moon in Teotihuacán, I believe. Way bigger, too.

Except she wasn’t American, r83. 🙄

This video has made me want to visit the site.

But it's a bummer you can't hike to the top.

I'd love to see the inner chamber, where they sacrificed people.

If you can hike up the Giza Pyramids, why can't you hike up these?

I commented on the "mob" behaviour and stand by that comment, R84. You can feel the ugly energy in that video, how close that situation is to more serious violence. I'm not sure how that lets this dumbass off the hook at all, though. She can be a complete asshole (which it appears she is, although apparently not an American one), AND that crowd can be a mob. One being awful doesn't somehow make the other not-awful.

The "ban has only been in effect since 2008" comments are in response to the poster losing their shit earlier in the thread about great cultural offense and HOW DARE YOU etc. - they're countering that poster specifically, not trying to excuse what this woman did. She fucked up, no one is saying otherwise. But people were walking all over that pyramid as recently as ~14 years ago so there's obviously not some super-sensitivie cultural taboo about touching/walking on the stones in place. Which to be clear, and again: doesn't make what this woman did OK.

As for the artwork I was actually in those threads, 1 of 2 people commenting on the mob-like mentality of many of the posters there indulging themselves in exactly the kind of delicious/self-righteous outrage we see in the video and continually posting about great art being "destroyed" when those protestors are very obviously only chucking paint at works that are entirely protected from being damaged. Mob behaviour is shit, and I refuse to call it out only in some instances and not in others.

Chicas with low self-esteem.

[quote]But people were walking all over that pyramid as recently as ~14 years ago so there's obviously not some super-sensitivie cultural taboo about touching/walking on the stones in place.

FFS, it's not about deferring to the sensitivities of a lost society of child sacrifice and advanced early writing systems, it's about preserving the physical monuments of our collective history and artistic heritage.

In England in the past a person in decent clothes could present himself at the door of any great country house and give the housekeeper a few coins for a tour when the owners were not in residence. There photos of people having meals in Egyptian tombs in the 1920s. People used to smoke on the London Tube, in airplanes, in some museums. The White House used to be open for one and all to wander in, have a look around, admire the artifacts of the Lewis & Clarke expedition, or to try to pigeonhole the president or his staff.

Rules change. The pyramid is recognized as an historic and artistic monument visited not by a few thousands of people each year but by 2.8M people. Safety of the visitors and protection of the very resource they have come to visit sometimes mean that rules change.

"Well they let people climb to the top 14 years ago" doesn't give license to do it today.

FFS it's a 1000 - 1500 year old world heritage site of the highest significance crawling with 2.8M tourists a year. The protections are in place to preserve the monument.

This reminds me of the horror movie The Ruins

Newsflash for R89, another DL cryptkeeper for who whom time stands still. Climbing the pyramids of Giza is illegal and Egyptian justice doesn't look kindly on bleached blonde Frau tourists and gap-year pranksters who do so.

Let's review.

You may no longer sit on the Spanish Steps.

You may not visit Komodo Island.

NYU, Columbia and NYC Subway tearooms went the way of the Dodo bird.

The Pioneer Cabin Tree and The Azure window have collapsed.

You may:

Kiss the Blarney Stone.

Kiss my old fat whore ass, which doesn't live in a time warp.

I love the comment "You could climb the steps in 2008" as if it takes 16 years to understand that you can no longer climb them.

I hate trash like her

For a Spaniard, she's sloppy looking and fat. I've always been impressed at how well dressed in public they are.

She looks like Miss Faye Dunaway at R4!

Message received. I will stay out of Mexico. Happy Thanksgiving.

R99, you would have no problem in Mexico, unless you had plans to do something incredibly stupid, like this woman did.

Dear R92 and R95: Once again, NO ONE is saying that the pyramid being unprotected in 2008 means that a)it should be unprotected now or that b)it excuses what this woman did. Again: NO ONE is saying that. You do not need to argue against positions that aren't being taken. Stand down.

It’s funny how everyone just assumed she was American.

I guess it would be the equivalent of someone took a dump in Abe Lincoln's lap in the Lincoln memorial

I took a dump in Abe Lincoln's lap 14 years ago. Everyone was doing it in 2008.

I think her dancing pushed the crowd over the edge.

It was horrible!

Stop defending the people who are taking a dump on Abe Lincoln's lap!

Every time some stupid person blonde woman pulls these stunts a DLer comes out to white knight for her, tutting at people condemning her, wanting to “hear the whole story” and assuming there is a lack of signage.

For fuck’s sake r3.

Did she spit on a God? Jesus fucking Christ. Was it blasphemy? Sacrilege? Some ugly looks and ppinting/whispering would suffice. She didn't deserve mass condemnation for dancing on a thing that was hidden by forest for centuries before it was discovered in the 19th or 20th century. How important could it be if y'all FORGOT IT WAS THERE for centuries?

I hope her next move is to a climb on the roof of a former slave plantation and film a tik tok video there.

Or maybe to the driveway in front of Kate Middleton’s house at Windsor Park and film a sex tape there.

[quote] How important could it be if y'all FORGOT IT WAS THERE for centuries?

Y’all, R108 wants to use the bust of Nefertiti as a garden gnome.

This whole thing is so bizarre it looks staged. Who becomes so enraged over something like this that they mob and pull the woman’s hair? She climbed some steps. Calm down. Fine her, publish her image, but physically attacking her?

People are out of fucking OUT OF CONTROL right now. Human society needs to pull its shit together.

You were literally shown R19 in MULTIPLE posts before your ridiculous self righteous anger embarrassingly manifested, that people used to climb it ALL THE TIME, that there were ropes in place to assist people in climbing until just a few years ago.

CALM DOWN.

You people excusing the crowds behavior have serious antisocial psychotic tendencies. Get help. No surprise for DL. Get help.

The people defending her are definitely weird.

I was there in the 90s. I wanted to climb the stairs; inspired by the beginning of Gin Miller’s Reebok Step workout (remember her?) I got a quarter way up and turned around so my Mom could take a picture. That was a mistake as it made me a little dizzy so I crawled back down. I do remember being able to see some graffiti in the temple at the top.

The climbing ban probably arose from wanting to protect the site as well as a safety to the visitors. If she was there as part of a tour, I’m sure the guide expressly told them NOT to climb the stairs and mentioned the barriers. She was stupid enough to do it anyway.

Now, JU DANCE!

It's okay to hate everyone on the screen you don't have to pick a side

Why are modern day Mexicans so wound about it? Aren’t they descended from the Spaniard colonists who wiped out the very civilisation that built the pyramid?

Because she’s a cunt, r118.

And no one likes a cunt.

[quote] I thought only American culture was violent.

No, you trolling fool. All cultures are violent.

The difference is that if a similar mob had formed in America, this woman would have been shot to death.

What that woman did was ugly. Watching that mob grow nasty was ugly. There was ugly all around.

You’re supposed to dance like there’s *no-one* watching!

[quote] You people excusing the crowds behavior have serious antisocial psychotic tendencies. Get help. No surprise for DL. Get help.

R113 is obviously a white female.

[quote] The people defending her are definitely weird.

Lots of Karens post here, you know?

My pyramids are unguarded!

I went to Chichen Itza about 10 years ago and a lot of people were climbing it. What I most remember about Chichen Itza were all the Mexicans begging, asking for "just one dollar".

R45: yeah, unlike the black dude at Walmart who murdered four of his coworkers. But “Karens” are THE WORST!

[quote]Quote any racism you have read in this thread.

Oh, please. Anyone who has been on DL for years like myself, sees the difference in reaction to behavior by white people vs. others. It's like a fucking dinnerbell going off for hyenas if it's a crime or something said by a non-white person. Had the killer in Colorado been black or Hispanic or Muslim, the racist gay white hyenas on here would've gone off on the millions of blacks, Hispanic and Muslims who had nothing to do with that *individual* had done. Do you see people blaming all white people in those threads?

I've been on platforms where it was predominantly white heteros. Many gay white men are far more hateful and prejudice than them. I mean the idiotic obsession with whether someone is "white" enough alone, is pathetic.

Most Mexicans are Mestizo, ignoramus at R118.

Climbing Chichen Itza has also been off limits since 2008.

R2, 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Boy you Eldergays love saying "cunt"

Trash.

Tell me you're an American without telling me you're an American.

LOL. Only she is NOT American R131. She is actually Mexican herself.

Abigail Villalobos, tried to pass herself off as Spanish, but is actually Mexican

So a Mexican woman with a sad blonde wig is publicly shamed trying for climbing and dancing on a ruin, and r125 puts the blame on a black Walmart killer.

I’m shocked, shocked.

R125 is a shithead, popping in to validate all the "anyone who mentions the mob is a RACIST" trolls in one racist post. Well done, R125.

Also this woman being a Mexican herself now makes it awkward for the racists *and* the virtue signalers in this thread. Yay.

The mob didn’t attack her for what she literally did as much as for what it symbolized.

Talk about a butterface!

I’m surprised she didn’t melt like that Nazi at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark.

What that mob did to her is nothing compared to the endless curses coming her way. The gods are angered!

Everything but the bloodhounds snappin' at her rear end!

Sorry bad wig bitch, but I did the "shame" walk a thousand times better.

I did fucking naked.

Wonder how many in the crowd have friends or family that just climbed their way over the US border.

No, im not white either. But Mexicans of all should be beyond grateful for these tourists even stepping foot in that country.

Get back to me when they start devouring her.

When I was a kid we climbed all over Mayan pyramids. It was legal up until just recently so the faux outrage is a bit much. But yeah, she must have known this was no longer permitted.

R101

Hypervigiliant much?

Eat some more turkey and unclench!

Agreed that the mob's rage was creepy and out there. It was anti-American/anti-white animosity. One suspects that like some posters on this thread, the mob mistook her for a blonde whitey American or other tourist of Northern European ethnicity. Had she been dark-haired and dark-skinned of apparent Latin ethnicity the disapproval would have been present but notched down.

[Quote]Officials said that Abigail Villalobos had attempted to pass herself off as a Spaniard after she was arrested for her viral stunt, but it has since been determined that she is actually from Mexico.

She sounds (and looks) off. She received a fine of only about $250 so, boys, if you want to climb Mayan pyramids that's the meager entry fee.

When I was last in Mexico with some gal pals, I shat myself!

Why such a long thread about some guy's moobs? Live and let live.

[quote] Polish Tourist enrages crowd by climbing stairway to gods at Mayan temple, officials say

A Polish tourist was hit in the head with a stick and yelled at after walking up the steps of the Mayan pyramid in Chichén Itzá, according to the Instituto Nacional de Antropologia e Historia of Mexico.

The pyramid, an archaeological and historical site, has been closed to climbing since 2008, but that didn’t stop the man from crossing into the restricted area and walking up the stairs of the pyramid on Jan. 28.

In a video circulating on social media, the man can be seen being led down the steps of the Temple of Kukulcán, the Mayan pyramid, by site officials. When he reaches the ground, he is met by an angry crowd.

Other local and international tourists can be heard yelling obscenities and voicing their anger toward the tourist in the video.

The tourist is then approached from behind by a shirtless man holding a large stick while being led away from the temple.

The shirtless man swings the stick, hitting the back of the man’s head. The site officials then attempt to lead the tourist through the crowd where he continued to be berated.

The Mexico Daily Post reported that the man had accessed the area “to take pictures and share them on social networks.”

The man was arrested by the Municipal Police of Tinum and held for 12 hours before being released with a fine, José Arturo Chab Cárdenas, head of the INAH Yucatan Center, said in a statement according to Aristegui Noticias.

Chab Cárdenas said the man was a visitor from Poland and that he had been fined 5,000 pesos, the equivalent of around $266.

His arrest comes just two months after another tourist went viral for walking up the steps despite yells from onlookers. The woman climbed the temple on Nov. 20 and when she came back down, people threw food and water at her and pulled her hair.

The Temple of Kukulcán was built by the Mayans for the feathered serpent god Kukulcán between 800 and 900 A.D., according to Atlas Obscura. The temple helped the Mayans to track the summer and winter equinoxes, when the Mayans said Kukulcán would return to commune with his worshippers and bring good health and healthy crops.

“Tourists must respect the security measures of the INAH in the archaeological zone to preserve the cultural heritage of Mexico, take care of other visitors and enjoy that Mayan legacy,” Chab Cárdenas said to the Mexico Daily Post.
