Dog scales great pyramid: An unexpected viral climb
Paraglider Alex Lang was soaring over the Great Pyramid of Giza when he noticed something unexpected. He quickly aimed his camera lens, captured everything, and uploaded the video online. The footage quickly went viral.
The video that shocked internet users captured a dog on top of the Great Pyramid of Giza. This sparked amazement among viewers, who began to wonder how the dog managed to climb this monumental structure, which was the tallest man-made structure for about 4,000 years. The Great Pyramid of Cheops originally stood at 147 metres tall, but today, due to erosion, it measures around 139 metres.
Dog on the pyramid becomes an internet sensation
The unusual event occurred on October 14th of this year, when Alex Lang, a paraglider, was flying over the pyramids. As he flew over the Great Pyramid, he suddenly spotted a four-legged creature barking at the birds circling the structure.
The video quickly went viral online and was shared by influencers and celebrities as well.
There are numerous comments below the video. One internet user joked, "If he pees on the pyramid, it’s all his." Another added, "That's not a dog, that's Anubis, the god, guardian of the dead and protector of tombs. That's why he's on top of the pyramid." Another user expressed concern, "I wonder how long it took him. I hope he comes down safely and gets a drink of water."
It remains a mystery how the dog got to the top and how long it stayed there, as the recording does not show this. Intrigued internet users on the platform X quickly picked up on the topic, and one user remarked, "This dog climbed a gigantic pyramid of about 140 metres, it must have been an incredible effort."
It is important to note that climbing the Great Pyramid of Giza is prohibited. Built during the reign of Pharaoh Cheops, it is the largest of the three ancient monuments in Giza. It is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and attracts millions of tourists from all over the globe. It is under constant protection by UNESCO and Egyptian authorities, and any attempt to climb it results in severe penalties.
