Paraglider Spots A Dog On Top Of Great Pyramid Of Giza: "It Was Chasing Birds"

A startling discovery was made by paramotorist Alex Lang while flying over the Great Pyramid of Giza, the largest of Egypt's 118 pyramids. Notably, tourists often take paragliding tours of these monuments as climbing these pyramids is forbidden. To his utter surprise, Mr Lang noticed some movement at the apex of the ancient structure, only to find a dog chasing birds atop the pyramid. It wasn't immediately clear how the dog got up there, or if it got down.

The unexpected sighting has left many social media users perplexed, as climbing the Great Pyramid is strictly forbidden due to preservation and safety concerns. The dog's ascent, seemingly unaided, has sparked curiosity and amusement online, with internet users sharing an array of comments. 

One X user wrote, ''That's his pyramid now. He conquered it.''

Another joked, ''Sometimes you just gotta climb the highest hill and bark at some birds, man.''

A third said, ''Not a dog. That is the Egyptian God Anubis. He is considered the guide of the dead in the afterlife and the protector of the tombs. That's why it is over the pyramid.''

A fourth added, ''Those blocks are BIG. That's a crazy climb for a dog. I'm not convinced.''

The Great Pyramid of Giza, located in Egypt, is an ancient wonder that continues to captivate the world's imagination. Built around 2580-2565 BC during the reign of Pharaoh Khufu, this majestic structure stands as the largest of the three pyramids in Giza. Today, the Great Pyramid is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, protected and preserved through ongoing restoration efforts.
