Even by the standards of this arc, the interpretation of Mexico was really, ''really'' strange - apparently there's a legally enforced curfew, and armed military personnel guard the Palenque ruins and don't have a problem with threatening to shoot Japanese teenagers for no reason at all.

** Coupled with HEAVY doses of errors. Seriously, most of the native Mexican cultures KNEW about eclipses. In fact, most had culture that rivals European old societies. But then, along came Spain...
*** Except the Mayans in the movie knew that the eclipse was coming... That's why they did the sacrifices at just the right time, so the uneducated people would believe that the gods were satisfied and to get them to stop protesting.

To be fair, there is a war on and a large part of it has been flattened by air raids (not to mention the series takes place in an indeterminate future time where over half of humanity lives in space colonies with travel to and from Earth heavily restricted by an overbearing government, making it entirely possible that the place has become a DyingTown for want of ''turistas'').
