by

1) The Mexican National Institute of Anthropology and History has threatened to sue MrBeast, but he asserts that no lawsuit has been filed against him. Additionally, the governor of the state where he filmed has spoken up in his defense.

As a follower, I found myself at odds with his approach to video production regarding the depiction of ancient Mayan sites. I felt that he overemphasized these historical locations, and this exaggerated representation seemed to misrepresent their unique culture.

Apart from asserting that he collaborated with local archaeologists and authorities for historical authenticity in the video, he additionally received support from the state governor who was present during filming.

In a swift response, Governor Sansores stood up for MrBeast, stating that if there are any concerns from the cultural department about his video, they ought to address those directly with her.

MrBeast reveals he’s funding the very organization that wants to sue

In simpler terms, MrBeast’s video contained promotions for his own merchandise, which raised concerns at the INAH (National Institute of Anthropology and History). As a result, they warned the media company representing him that they might take legal action due to this issue.

The National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) has taken legal action against the film production company, seeking compensation for damages, a public apology, and compliance with permits issued by the institute. This is due to the company’s failure to adhere to the terms of these permits and their unauthorized use of Mexico’s archaeological heritage for personal gain.” (Institute’s explanation in a Twitter thread)

The YouTube creator asserted that he shot the video while upholding the respect of local archaeologists, cultural sensitivity, obtaining necessary permits, and securing approval from relevant government bodies.

Contrary to some rumors, they’ve never taken us to court. It’s disappointing to see misinformation being shared.

It’s surprising given that the OFFICIAL INAH account has stated they are taking legal action against his production company. However, MrBeast maintains his innocence regarding this issue.

He clarified that our filming was done under proper permits, adhering to guidelines, with officials from government agencies monitoring us, as well as Mexican archaeologists verifying accuracy, and site representatives ensuring compliance with rules.

Additionally, he recorded every single advertisement not near cultural landmarks, a key issue causing the INAH to consider taking legal action against his production firm.

Moreover, Governor Layda Sansores stood up for MrBeast, refuting claims made by Mexico’s Secretary of Culture and shielding the YouTube personality from these allegations.

We’re incredibly appreciative that MrBeast took the time to explore Calakmul and showcase the stunning beauty of our Mayan heritage to the globe. His visit had an immediate positive impact on local economies and significantly enhanced global tourism awareness about us, all without asking for a penny in return.

MrBeast’s team consistently demonstrated great care and reverence for our cultural legacy throughout the project. All required permits and legalities were properly obtained and approved by both the INAH (National Institute of Anthropology and History) and Campeche’s Ministry of Tourism, with their presence during filming ensuring compliance. The government of Campeche was also involved in this process.

Should Mexico’s Ministry of Culture have any questions or concerns, we politely request that they be directed to the Government of Campeche, since it is our duty to uphold and showcase the unique cultural and natural heritage that represents us,” she stated in an official communique.

Furthermore, it came to light that MrBeast is actually providing financial support to the Mexican National Institute of Anthropology and History – the same institution that criticized him following the recording of the video.

In addition to our film project, I’ve been collaborating with INAH on a fund dedicated to promoting local Mexican archaeology and discoveries as a way of giving back for the opportunity to film. I look forward to returning one day and continuing to celebrate this remarkable culture globally, it’s disheartening to see its distortion.” (MrBeast)
