98. I would have to see proof of actual destruction.
I don't think they did any lasting damage to the pyramids they are climbing on. No more than the usual flock of tourists. If anything the exposure, however cockeyed, these sights get on this show is likely to increase funds available for proper investigation and recovery of artifacts.

I have trouble with the idea that we have to treat every pot shard in the forest as sacred and worthy of protection. These places have been abandoned for hundreds of years at least. Even then the evidence is that the Maya screwed up their ecology and had to abandon their cities.

Lay off the Survivor people. This is good press you're getting.
