A tourist was booed, doused with water and taken in for questioning after she climbed the protected Pyramid of Kukulcan at the archaeological site of Chichen-Itza in Mexico.

Crowds gather around the Mayan site’s pyramid to mark the passing seasons. During equinoxes, shadows form a zig-zag pattern on the stairs to resemble a giant snake. “It’s remarkably sophisticated,” Taylor says.

“It’s a massive statement and a huge investment in time and energy and thought to create a site based on astronomy.” The pyramid itself serves as a giant calendar, with 91 steps on its four stairways, plus the top platform, totaling 365 days of the year.

  3. Mrs Charlotte legit and her method works like magic I keep on earning every single week with her new strategy

  4. I think the people physically assaulting the woman and throwing stuff behaved worse.. that’s just me though 🤷🏻‍♂️.

    1. I felt some of it too. What she did was ridiculous, but the people who threw water at her were laughing, if they have a good chance of doing something they don’t normally do, they’re going to use it… there was all sorts of reaction there, some people felt disrespected and wanted revenge, some people were having a lot of fun in the presence of an angry mob… everything is F weird.
