Controversy about Mrbeast YouTube video in Mexico, explained

Mexico does not subscribe to the idea that every advertisement is good advertising … Even if it comes from the YouTuber who has the most subscribers in the world. On May 15, a Mexican CISTRIATION announced that it was against a production company that worked with MRBeast in a video entitled “I have 2000 years old temple with the title 2000”, in which he had worked together in the state of Yucatán and Calakmul in the state of Campecus with the title of 2000 -year -old old temple in which he visited Maya archeological stands. According to CNN, some spectators have questioned with the fact that the YouTuber gave access to restricted areas that are considered sacred. (“I cannot believe that the government is doing this,” admitted Mrbeast in the video. Peanut Butter Cup from his brand also feastable by “the only Maya-based snack on the planet”.

He did not enter. Mrbeast's video description states that the shooting in cooperation with the Mexican Tourism Board was carried out and thanks the National Institute of Anthropology and History, a government agency that is also known as Inah.

In a statement on May 12, the Inah confirmed that a formal request had been made to allow the YouTuber visit. According to the Inahs, the federal staff monitored the MRBeast team all the time and ensured that the locations were not caused. The agency also made it clear that the video contained after production and that certain events that were shown in it, and people who fly from a helicopter fly a drone into a pyramid or spend the night within an archaeological site. The Inah also found that the mask with which MRBeast was treated was a contemporary recreation, not an actual old artifact.

According to the BBC, President Claudia Sheinbaum demanded a report on the situation when she was asked about her thoughts on May 14. In particular, she wanted to know the conditions under which the Inah had given permission to visit and which sanctions would be imposed if these conditions had been violated.

Yes. In a thread on May 15, the agency announced that it announced that it had filed a lawsuit against Full Circle Media, the production company that worked with Mrbeast during his time in Mexico. The Inah said that the conditions of the permission granted did not allow the publication of incorrect information or the use of the image of archaeological websites for advertising purposes or personal profits. The statement demonstrated a stricter tone as that of his explanation of May 12, which had come to the conclusion that, despite Mrbeast, despite the recording of “distorted” information, young people around the world could still motivate to learn about the ancestral cultures of Mexico and to visit the country's archaeological sites.

In an e -mail to the New York JustA spokesman for Mrbeast spoke part of the counter reaction about the video. “No advertising material was shot on archaeological sites by Inah. It is therefore unfortunate that this has become a political problem,” says the e -mail declaration: “Hopefully it can lead to a productive dialogue and encourage people to visit these unique historical treasures.”
