But Neil’s list of rules and prohibited acts at archaeological sites isn’t only for this tourist, it is for all visitors including Belizeans. Neil says there have been several cases where people have vandalized the temples.

"We would also like to take this opportunity, since a magnifying glass is being lifted to the actions at the temples, we would also like to ask the general public and those people who are visiting to not vandalize the sites, to not take the opportunity to scratch your names unto the temples or the surrounding areas or even the trees on the archaeological sites as well as defacing property that is on there. We would like to ask you to stop as well and if you see someone doing it, let them know it is wrong."
Of course, on the topic of defiling Mayan archaeological sites, the May 2013 destruction of Nohmul in Orange Walk comes to mind as one of the most egregious acts carried out by Denny Grijalva’s company De-mars construction.
