Climb a pyramid in Egypt can provide an excellent landscape, but you can also pack a trouble with the law. Earlier this week, Andrej Ciesielski, one Russian-born 17-year-old posted on his blog an image that appears at the top of the Pyramid of Cheops - a building with nearly 140 meters high located in the great Giza necropolis, one of the largest archaeological sites in Egypt. The photos and the video of the adventure were great, but Andrej just referred to an Egyptian police station.
"I just listened to music as he climbed [the pyramid]. I made the trip in eight minutes. After a while I ended up drawing attention of a security guard. He started shouting in Arabic, so I came down," reported the boy in an interview with British tabloid Daily Mail. Luckily, Andrej, who lives in the German city of Munich, was released for being underage. Still, there is a chance of the country's authorities move a lawsuit against the tourist because of endeavor.
Even if it has almost been caught, Andrej is not exactly a novice. The boy has been to the top of the Colosseum in Rome, climbed skyscrapers of Dubai and was the towers over 300 meters high in Hong Kong. And it's not exactly alone. It is common to find videos of great climbing buildings and monuments on YouTube (which give a lot of vertigo, that is). In 2013, for example, some Russian friends also posted pictures on top of the Pyramid of Cheops, but were a bit smarter than Andrej: the ascent was made during the night to avoid the attention of guards.
It is common to find old pictures in which a group of people appears 'assembled' in some of the pyramids. In an effort to preserve the buildings of up to 2000 and 500 years A.C., the country has to prohibit the trip without any authorization. Apparently, none of this stopped people continue going up there.
