A female tourist was attacked by a crowd of people Sunday after she ignored the law and climbed an ancient Mayan pyramid in Mexico.

As seen in videos posted on social media, the woman, who is reportedly a Mexican citizen, walked up the stairs of the Kukulkan Pyramid in Chichen Itza, a city in the Yucatan Peninsula of southern Mexico.

She ascended to the top of the Mayan landmark and appeared to interpret the crowd’s jeering as cheers while she danced at the temple’s peak.
