It’s annoying the way Mexico shut down climbing the pyramids when covid hit. It still hasn’t let it resume. Now they are drifting into that whole “sacred” thing.
Another good thing, probably gone forever. And a woman walking up stone stairs and dancing on hundreds of tons of stone block didn’t “damage it”... really? Did you have an engineering team go check it?
Idiocracy... I am with the woman on this.
How do you say ‘Karen’ in Mayan ?
Covid hit in 2008?
When I was in the USN back in the Seventies, I went to Alexandria in Egypt, and we took a tour to the Pyramids.
Back then, you could climb on the pyramids, and I climbed up a ways.
I completely lost my nerve. I recall the blocks at the bottom were really big, and got smaller as you went, and became increasingly more crumbly feeling, and when I looked down, I realized that if you slipped, you weren’t going to stop falling until you reached the bottom, and it was way higher than I thought.
Honestly, I didn’t give a second thought to it, and as a young stupid guy, I didn’t think about it in terms of desecrating a timeless antiquity. I do recall seeing a few people going up, and thinking “Cool-they let you climb on it!” not “Good gosh-they let people climb on it? It’s the pyramids! How can they let people do that?”
“Now they are drifting into that whole “sacred” thing.”
Just like every haunted house is built on an Indian burial site.
