Tourists climbed the forbidden Kukulkan temple at Chichen Itza

2 American idiots were arrested after violating the security line around the Kukulkan temple and climbing it to the top. Luckily for them, they got detained by the local maya artisans (thus saving them from the enraged Mexican tourists that were around) and handed them to the local police.
