The Mexican authorities decipher “distorted information” in MRBeast video that were filmed on old Maya website.

On May 10th, James Donaldson, better known as Internet Media personality Mrbeast, released a video entitled “I survived 100 hours in an old temple”. To his YouTube channel, which has 394 million subscribers to write now. After an explanation of May 12th Mrbeast's shooting adventure was published by the Mexican National Institute of Anthropology and History (Inah) and was on the board, with the exception of some less “distorted information” that the institute tried to correct.

The video, which has achieved more than 52 million views in three days, is part of a larger series of permanent challenges that Mrbeast and its employees in historical places around the world like Egypt (“I spent 100 hours in the pyramids“), Romania (” 7 days of exploration of an underground city“) and Croatia (” I survived 7 days in an abandoned city“). The” Old Temple “in question consisted of several Maya sites in the States Campeche and Yucatán in Mexico-In-Lessons Chichén Itzá, the most visited archaeological site of the Landes-Alle are protected and maintained by Inah.

“The visit and recording of the archaeological sites … were carried out in accordance with the formal inquiries from the Federal Ministry of Tourism and the governments of the two states mentioned above,” says Inah's explanation. Donaldson worked closely with the Mexican government to maintain permits and carried out his shoots in areas that were publicly accessible without disturbing access to the visitors. In Calakmul, an old Maya lowland town that is so powerful, it was once referred to as the “Kingdom of Snake”, a subdusted as building II called Donaldson's team, which was not permanently open to tourists, is often often the subject of municipal tours. Donaldson and Inah coordinated the visit of his film crew in advance to avoid an interruption.

The Inah also corrected some parts of misinformation that were cast through the video into the circulation. Regarding one of the final segments in the video, the institute “Clarif”[ied] that no drone flight in El Castillo was carried out “, one of the most famous structures in Chichén Itzá; rather” the flight took place outside of the structure “. The Inah statement also emphasized the” theatrical “of the video recording of the video audio post-production and claimed that despite Donaldson, the producers who are in a hemse producer in the producers produced in an HEME producer in a HEME ERHOUM. took place.

The institute also addressed a controversial exchange between Donaldson and one of its leaders when it descended into a temple. When they achieved what Donaldson calls the “end” of the temple, the guide Donaldson gives an old Maya burial mask.

“This has been found in the past two decades!” Terms the guide. “This is the face of one of the snakes of the snake kingdom.” “Can I hold it?” Donaldson asks as voice -over that the artifact is over a thousand years old. While the guide hands over the property, Donaldson jokes: “Why is that not in a museum? Why does a YouTuber keep that? Take it away from me!”

The explanation of the Inah illustrates that Mrbeast's “producers … never had a pre-Hispan mask” and added that “the presented person is clearly a contemporary reproduction. Inah confirms that the institute in the records at all times monitors compliance with fixed security measures during the records.”

Despite these “false claims”, Inah claims in its statement that Mrbeast's videos “can motivate the young audience in Mexico and all over the world” to learn about Mexican history and the “ancestral cultures”. This feeling reflects the reaction that Egyptologists had to romp on Donaldsons in the Giza pyramids, a video that drives the traffic towards the country's economy.
