The Mexican government has paused its relationship with the U.S. and Canadian embassies in the country, President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said on Tuesday, after their ambassadors criticised a proposed judicial reform that he backs.

"There is a pause," Lopez Obrador said in a press conference, clarifying that the freeze was with the embassies and not with the countries.

The president is pushing a reform to elect judges, including Supreme Court justices, by popular vote. A committee in the lower house of Mexico's Congress passed the proposal late on Monday, paving the way for it to be approved when the newly elected Congress takes office in September.

U.S. Ambassador Ken Salazar last week labelled the reform a "major risk to the functioning of Mexico's democracy" and cautioned of a potential risk to the U.S.-Mexico trade relationship.

The U.S. and Mexico are each other's largest trade partners.

Canada's ambassador to Mexico, Graeme Clark, also warned of investment concerns.

It was not entirely clear what impact such a pause - limited to the embassies in Mexico - would have. The U.S. and Canadian embassies did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Proponents say the reform will boost democracy and help fix a system that they argue does not serve the public, while critics say it will skew power in favor of the executive, cut off judges' careers, and make the courts more susceptible to criminal influence.

The pause in the relationship with the U.S. embassy is "because (the U.S. ambassador) is looking to talk with us," Lopez Obrador said.

"How are we going to allow the ambassador to give his opinion, to say what we're doing is wrong?" Lopez Obrador added. "We aren't going to tell him to get out of the country. But for him to read our Constitution, yes, we will say that."

Salazar had said he was open to speaking with Mexican government leaders to discuss different judicial models.

Lopez Obrador said the "pause" would continue until "there was confirmation that (the embassies) would respect Mexico's independence."

Mexico's peso was down 1.3% in mid-morning trade after the president's comments.

It has dropped sharply since the June elections, in which Lopez Obrador's favoured successor Claudia Sheinbaum won the presidency and their Morena party and allies bagged a supermajority in the lower house and nearly a supermajority in the Senate.

A two-thirds vote is necessary to amend the Constitution, which the judicial reform would need to do.

A section of a historic pyramid in Mexico, once used by an ancient tribe for human sacrifices, has collapsed, sparking fears among descendants of the indigenous builders that it may be a "supernatural sign of impending doom."

The Yácata pyramid, part of the archaeological site of Ihuatzio in Michoacán state, collapsed after heavy rainfall, on July 30, eroded one of its sides. The pyramid, as per The Sun, was originally constructed by ancestors of the Purépecha people, a formidable, bloodthirsty tribe known for defeating the Aztecs.&nbsp;

According to historians, the tribe used the Yácata pyramid to conduct rituals involving human sacrifices to their primary deity, Kurikweri.

The Purépecha tribe, who ruled the region for 400 years before the Spanish conquest in 1519, believed that such natural disasters were ominous signs.&nbsp;

"Before the arrival of the conquistadors, something similar happened, which for the Purépecha worldview of that time was because the gods Nana Kuerhaepiri and K'eri Kurikweri were displeased."

The Mexican National Institute for Anthropology and History (INAH) in a statement acknowledged the damage to the pyramid, explaining that it resulted from an unusual combination of extreme weather conditions.&nbsp;

"This happened because of the heavy rainfall in the basin of Lake Pátzcuaro, with an accumulation above the expected average of precipitation," said the INAH.

"High temperatures, previously recorded in the area, and the consequent drought caused cracks that favoured the filtration of water into the interior of the pre-Hispanic building."

INAH officials have been on site since the early hours of July 30, assessing the damage. Their preliminary findings reveal significant damage to "at least six of the stepped bodies of the so-called South Base, both in its exterior wall of slabs, as well as in its core and retaining wall."

The restoration efforts, as per the statement, will involve a detailed, interdisciplinary approach to ensure that the pyramid is not only repaired but also preserved for the future.&nbsp;

The mystery around Peru's 'alien mummies' has deepened after an attorney, who recently checked these unearthly specimens, found that these humanoid three-fingered creatures have “straight” fingerprints which are not similar to that of humans.&nbsp;

Defence attorney and former Colorado prosecutor Joshua McDowell examined one of those weird and extraterrestrial bodies, who had been given the name "Maria", along with the three independent forensic medical examiners who came from the United States.&nbsp;

The experts, along with him, were left stunned when they found that the fingerprints of these alien corpses had perfectly straight lines.
