@metrouk: Climbing the Mayan civilisation’s ancient pyramids is banned, both to respect the structures and from fear of damaging them. But that didn’t stop two tourists from launching themselves to the top, to the outrage of local people and other visitors who had gathered there for the spring equinox. Footage shows how one man made a break for the apex, as security guards scrambled after him and others tried to pull him down. Security were themselves attacked trying to protect one of the climbers, a 38-year-old German, from the crowd after he had been hit in the head drawing blood. #tourism #mexico #mayan #pyramid #news #worldnews
