Mexican authorities are demanding compensation after YouTuber MrBeast was accused of exploiting the ancient Mayan pyramids in a video for financial gain.
The video 'I Explored 2000 Year Old Ancient Temples' shows the influencer and his team exploring the ancient Mayan cities with a permit.
But in one part, the influencer advertised his chocolate product as a 'Mayan Dessert', urging viewers to purchase it.
On Wednesday, Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum called for an investigation into the conditions to which the filming permit was granted.
Authorities said that while they gave MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, permission to film at the sites, it was for not for-profit use.
