Why can't you dance on the stairs? It's the ruins of a dead pagan religion. It's not something that deserves deference. What, you want them to only climb up for human sacrifices?
Unfortunately the people who would ban shit like this are the same ones who closed Ayers Rock in Australia, and who are increasingly “banning” whitey from most spaces…
This is not something that anyone here should be supporting. Unironically, OP (and the article author) has the wrong take, here.
The rule is "no touchy the historical artifacts". So they went and touchy'd the historical artifact. Seems cut-and-dry to me. Just because a pyramid is big, doesn't make it not a historical artifact.
So unironically, yes: It should only be used for human sacrifices or other religious rituals, at least in reinactment for educational purposes by trained professionals aware of the historic value of the item they're interacting with.
No, you got it right. It’s an insanely stupid rule, for a fucking Mayan pyramid.
Ignore the authoritarian idiots, here and elsewhere.
This weird desire in contemporary society to “restrict” and “control” everyone’s actions is totally out of line, and this is just part of that. Only in the 21st century could someone think that one single tourist climbing the stairs of a fucking pyramid is somehow going to “damage a historical artifact”, LMAO…
Nah. No it doesn’t. The Maya have been dead for 1000 years. People have been climbing the pyramid ever since. A tourist doing so makes no difference.
Your idea is bullshit.
Ideas like yours are exactly the arguments leftists use to lock up “sacred” mountains and sites everywhere, and it is absolute bullshit. So no, you’re wrong, and the article writer is an idiot.

Jesus fuck, are your comments always this retarded?
You bet they are. Please don't blaspheme.

Yeah I got it wrong. I assumed people could get on the stairs.

I totally, totally disagree with your point.
Like, completely.
This is entirely the wrong approach, but it’s oh so 21st century.
People have been climbing this pyramid ever since the Maya fucking died out. One tourist will make no difference. Get a grip.
Nah. No it doesn’t. The Maya have been dead for 1000 years. People have been climbing the pyramid ever since. A tourist doing so makes no difference.

Oh, climbing them isn't allowed? I assumed wrong.
Nah, he doesn’t know shit. He’s just going off the article.
Besides, in this case, it’s a dumb rule that completely deserves to be broken. Don’t apologize.
