Mel Gibson Donates Pyramids to Mexico
Mel Gibson came to Mexico to learn about and film Mayan history. In gratitude, he’s decided to leave a little something behind. Gibson will donate the sets from his movie, "Apocalypto,” when he is done filming in Veracruz, Mexico. The sets include six replicas of Mayan pyramids and several movie-set villages, according to the BBC. "Apocalypto” is a period piece that depicts the Mayan culture as it existed 3,000 years ago in what is now known as Central America. All of the dialogue in the film will be in an obscure Mayan dialect – one that Gibson says is authentic to that time. Gibson began filming Nov. 14 in Veracruz and expects to complete filmin in March or early April 2006.

As NewsMax reported in October, Gibson - sporting a long beard and no socks - met with Mexican President Vicente Fox and donated $1 million to help Mexico recover from Hurricane Stan, which hit the Gulf region surrounding Veracruz.
