Archaeology institute condemns Youtuber for "monetizing" permissions to explore pyramids and hidden tunnels in Campeche and Yucatan.

Authorities took legal action against a production company that worked with the YouTuber while he filmed a video visiting Maya ruins.

Mexico is seeking compensation from US YouTuber MrBeast and a production company, accusing them of exploiting the nation's ancient pyramids for commercial gain. The video "I Explored 2000 Year Old Ancient Temples" shows the influencer and his team exploring ancient Mayan cities, with a permit from local authorities.
