EGYPT – Known as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Pyramids are of course incredibly impressive from the outside, but few know what’s inside. One social media user went in and shared his footage. They give people goosebumps.
If you love to travel and want to see some of the greatest sights in the world, then you might want to consider visiting the pyramids in Egypt. Attracting millions of tourists every year, these ancient structures will definitely take you on a trip back in time.
Since the pyramids were once sealed off to prevent people from entering them, videos documenting their interior often go viral on social media.
Footage that gives a glimpse inside a popular tourist attraction has recently made many social media users a little uneasy. A video shared on TikTok by a user known as @youneszarou shows the content creator entering the pyramids in Egypt.
It may seem like there is no road leading inside the pyramid, but the video shows how the pyramid is riddled with tunnels, chambers and side passages.
Many of them branch off into other rooms, making for the perfect maze experience.
A man just barely squeezes through extremely narrow corridors, and many people on the internet can’t believe how cramped the pyramids really are.
“My claustrophobia would never handle this,” wrote one user, while another wrote: “I can’t breathe looking at this.” A third said: “Claustrophobia has left the chat.” And someone else added: “I only panic when look at it.’
Despite the fact that the pyramids are thousands of years old, scientists are still discovering a lot about them. Just last year, experts discovered a nine-meter-long hidden passage in Egypt’s Khufu pyramid.
The Scan Pyramid group is part of a mission to look inside the pyramids using technologies such as scanners and infrared thermography. At the moment, they don’t yet know what the corridor is for, but the findings have provided some clues.
According to Mostafa Waziri, head of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities, the tunnel’s ceiling suggests it was built to lighten the pyramid.
“However, a big question mark hangs over whether this corridor was created to lighten the main entrance, or to lighten an as yet undiscovered space,” he said, ABC News reports .
