Six tourists have been arrested for allegedly damaging and defecating in a sacred temple at Machu Picchu in Peru. Built in the 15th century A.D., the Incan architectural complex is one of the most well-preserved ancient ruins in the world today.
The tourists were arrested after police and park officials spotted them in a restricted area of the Temple of the Sun, a key site of the ancient citadel. Several areas of the temple are off limits to tourists for preservation purposes. The tourists face at least four years in prison if they are found guilty of damaging the country's heritage, AFP reports.
Made of nearly 200 structures set on a steep ridge and crossed by a series of stone terraces,"to this day, many of Machu Picchu's mysteries remain unresolved, including the exact role it may have played in the Incas' sophisticated understanding of astronomy and domestication of wild plant species," UNESCO adds.
Hey!!! That’s not a toilet!!
Damn! The tourists weren’t from San Francisco! Go 9ers! But don’t go at Machu Picchu!
Horrible. Damaging heritage and historical sites ruins things for all, especially future generations. Protect World historical sites, and prosecute those whom willfully damage them!
Of all the places to do this, why choose Macho Pikachu? How did they think they weren’t gonna get caught?
They should be sacrificed to the Incan god Jessica, at sun rise on the first Pikachu of the Machu. Would be glorious to see Jessica take the blood of the wicked onto her stargazing breasts as steam of their wet life explodes off of her in the naked of morning.....so bored....
Send them to the Gods!
Good. If they dont lay down the law, Machu Picchu will look like San Francisco.
Must have been Californians who are permitted to poop anywhere they want to without repercussion.
Wow
Erik Trump was there?
Trump family ?
...like Trump wants to do in Iran?
