Mayan temples banned for Mayans, tourists still welcome

Mexico banned the Maya from holding their ceremonies and rites at the Mayan temples to preserve the cultural heritage (for tourists?).  Did that sound as ridiculous to you as it did to me?

Let me see.  A Mayan temple would be a place where the Mayans go to perform their rites.  Just because they were conquered does not mean the temple is not sacred to them any more?  Or that they should be BANNED from using it for its original purpose?

Preserving the Mayan heritage, presumably for tourists, by banning the Mayans. That makes my head spin.
