A 38-year-old German tourist was apprehended at the ancient Mayan site of Chichen Itza in Mexico for disregarding rules and scaling a centuries-old pyramid. The incident occurred on Thursday when thousands gathered to witness the “Descent of Kukulcan” phenomenon, where the spring equinox’s light and shadows create a serpent-like illusion on the pyramid’s steps. According to Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History, the tourist trespassed into a restricted area around 5 pm and climbed the pyramid.\u00a0He was subsequently chased up the stairs by security at the site.<\/p>\n

“He escaped from our grasp, even though we’re keeping watch on the western side of the castle. He ran past us. He’s clearly in good physical condition,” one security agent said, as reported by Mexico Daily News.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Here’s the video:<\/strong><\/p>\n \ud83d\udea8 TURISTA SUBE AL CASTILLO DE CHICH\u00c9N ITZ\u00c1 DURANTE EL EQUINOCCIO<\/p>\n Un turista ignor\u00f3 las normas y escal\u00f3 la pir\u00e1mide principal de Chich\u00e9n Itz\u00e1 en pleno espect\u00e1culo de luz y sombra del equinoccio.<\/p>\n Los visitantes, que esperaban el descenso de Kukulk\u00e1n, quedaron at\u00f3nitos cuando el\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/MLzOIVnM1j<\/a><\/p>\n\n
