This is sad.. But it is already famous.

Angkor Wat is sinking and crumbling as new hotels suck up the water from the aquifer underneath the temples…ironic.

I quite like the fact that Chichen Itza is so famous, as I think it means that many of the other (less famous) Mayan sites are quieter as a result.

I will travel to Mexico in November and was almost tempted to change my plans when I heard that Domingo would sing at Chichen Itza. I love him very much. But then I started thinking (and you confirmed it): Who will attend? And who will really profit from a spectacle like that? And what will it do to that cultural treasure? Tired: I am maybe a snotty European, but I prefer cultural sites to amusement parks.

Thanks for your comments. "Tired"–have you ever visited these places?

Maybe I'm heartless… but who cares, tear it down and build something new… It's old so it must be protected! Stop getting the in the way of progress. The only good thing about this site is that it brings tourist dollars to the country that it is in. THE THIRD WORLD COUNTRY. Turn it into an amusement park and create some jobs for the locals.

They should leave sites like this alone. Not just because of the damage done to the site, but events like this one are just jollies for tourists and won't help the site in the long run.
