MrBeast, the YouTube star, sparked controversy with his latest video exploring ancient Mayan temples, notably Chichen Itza. Despite being filmed with permits and oversight from the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH), the video drew attention from Mexican authorities, including President Claudia Sheinbaum. Critics, including the INAH, raised concerns regarding the video’s post-production work depicting events that allegedly never took place. The INAH's decision to file a lawsuit against a production company involved signifies the ongoing debate surrounding cultural heritage and media influence on historical sites.

The video seemed to involve extensive post-production work and allude to events that never occurred.
