A video showing a dog atop the Great Pyramid of Giza has surfaced on social media platform X. In the video, posted by ABC News, a man can be seen flying above the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt on a powered paraglider. Although it is unclear when the video was recorded, it was shared by ABC News on October 16.
The video shows the man flying across the Great Pyramid and a dog can be seen in the background, on top of the ancient monument. The Great Pyramid of Giza is the largest pyramid in Egypt and stands at over 480 metres tall. It served as the tomb of Pharaoh Khufu, who ruled during the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom.
It is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. CNBCTV18.com couldn't independently verify the video.
Meanwhile, in related news, the Grand Egyptian Museum will open 12 halls with exhibits about ancient Egypt in its main galleries starting October 17 in a trial run ahead of the still-unannounced official opening, according to The Associated Press. The museum is a mega-project, which has cost well over $1 billion so far, near the famed Giza Pyramids, per AP. The museum will open its halls for 4,000 visitors per day starting Wednesday, said Al-Tayeb Abbas, assistant to Egypt's minister of antiquities.
