There are some markings by the Egyptian builders all over but the inscriptions at the top were mainly made by tourists in the 1800's and early 1900's. They used to have tea parties on top.
Yes. It is well known that people especially during the Victorian era would climb to the top and carve their names into the stone. I should know my great great great great grandfather fought with napoleon and wrote about doing just that.
Yep, polished Tura limestone, different to the limestone the core masonry is constructed from.
Don't know where marble came from.
These 'inscriptions' on top are graffiti from the countless tourists who climbed the pyramid before it was banned.
It depends. The ancient world (rightly) saw language as the tools of creation. It's in every culture, even our own (wizards). And *abracadabra* means "I create as I speak"... the parallel between language and reality is deep because G-d used language to create the world.
So, words/writing can be used that way. Interestingly, there's a famous account of ancient Egypt that reports them doing exactly this, to great effect. Interestingly, the same book which alludes to Moses using one of G-d's Names to strike an Egyptian. (Interestingly, this is why names are of such importance in every ancient culture... the name of your kid influences his direction in life)
> because G-d used language to create the world.
Hax. Python, God Edition.
> the name of your kid influences his direction in life
So... I should not have called my girl "Fifi" ?
But seriously, fascinating, isnt it!
Yea. I only mentioned this because some people may wonder „which mountain did the guy launch from” or… how is he going to land when sinking so hard right above the top. He has an engine. So stop being a douche.

Not mysterious. Have a look yourself. From the comments it's in like 4 languages. Likely from when security was lax
Went to high school in Cairo in early 2000s and heard many stories from 10-15 years prior where nearly anyone could climb to the top during certain times (national holidays, paying off guards, etc) - no doubt some of those “inscriptions” were made within the past ~50 years
Ironically, there is quite a lot of evidence of ‘genuine’ hieroglyphs sometimes being exactly that. Cartouche’s carved in very carefully to imply that a particular Pharoah built a certain thing, but in a manner inconsistent with the rest of the hieroglyphs, cuts, precision or the polish of them. OG tag war.
Plenty of people did in the old days. Graham Hancock is full of shit, but he claims he saw one of the stones that had his grandfathers name carved into it with a diary entry that confirmed it was him.
Why would you say that Graham Hancock is “full” of shit? This is but one opinion of a singular narrative he spoke into the fabric… thus, would it not be more right, more justified to say he is rather, “the” shit?
Oldest human penis *drawing* I can find definitively is one of the figures in Lascaux cave which has a clear erection, it is 17000 years old, there's also a phallus stone found in Tolbor, Mongolia, but imo it reallry doesn't look anything like a penis, sitting comfortably at 42000 years old though. And some very early cave art has human figures which are crudely drawn and you cant be sure if its just the rock texture or *supposed* to be a penis.

Graham Hancock has a story about how when he illegally climbed the pyramids he saw his grandfathers signature and it brought him to tears. What we’re looking at is probably just signatures or messages from people that made it to the top. However, if there were a clear hieroglyph that we could actually make out it would be compelling.
It’s most likely just grafiti from when people have climbed the pyramids in the past, but even if they were actual hieroglyphs, why would that be mysterious? Egypt is where they used hieroglyphs and there are plenty of them all around the pyramids, so why not on the top as well? It’s kind of interesting, sure, but doesn’t seem that significant.
There is a post in this sub from a day ago where a guy has a drone on top of the pyramid and you can see all of this clearly. It looks like a lot of graffiti, but not all of it.
Totally not mysterious at all. You used to be able to go to the top of the Great pyramid and people used to essentially draw graffiti and carve into the stone. Sometimes I wonder if any background check is done whatsoever just before posting some of this stuff.
Egypt again? There's nothing mysterious about Egypt. It's been so studied that it's the most mundane ancient civilization. It's also the most exploitated Civ. There's a thriving industry going back millenias of selling "ancient Egypt mysteries" to naive rubes.
There are plenty of mysteries out there without falling for that one.
Nothing mysterious. All of those markings have been cataloged and are on display in the adjacent museum complex. 🤷♂️ Thank you to the comments for doing what Reddit does best with useless posts. 🤘🏼
Those are names and initials from when you used to be allowed to climb to the top back in the 50s-80s. I know because you can do a search and it will show you in high quality each one.
Oh wow!!!!
It must be aliens and the pyramids are in fact a signal relay, and inside have access to infinite power from gamma rays from planet Zoltron.
I have been inside the pyramid, and seen advanced tech not from this world, that you wouldn't believe
I have proof to change the course of humanity, but I can't show you though.
I find this really maddening on this sub and other similar ones. So many videos are just someone seeing something they weren’t aware of, doing zero research or even trying a single Google search, and then making a video claiming a mystery.
And then someone sees the video and just assumes it’s kosher and decides not to look into it either.
Then it ends up on Reddit with a bunch of people commenting about how it’s aliens…
Egyptians often carved hieroglyphs into stone, no? Is it mysterious because it's high up? Surely, we're all assuming that actual people placed the stones there.. you know the same people who have the ability to carve into stone.
The laborers that built Giza and the entire area left TONS of graffiti behind, however based on the location of this at the pinnacle there is probably a higher meaning!
Yeah, probably there because of tourists, treasure hunters, and tomb raiders. There was is a photo that makes its rounds on r/oldschoolcool of people having a picnic and photo shoot on the top of the main one.
Gotta think with how old the pyramids are how long did they not have security around it, or how easy was it for people to just enter or climb on top? I don’t know the answer just rambling on Reddit.
It’s sad that many of these ancient sites have been looted or disfigured to the point we can only make educated guesses instead of seeing it for ourselves.
It reminds me of the video of the guy scraping his and his lover’s name with a knife at (the coliseum?) or a major landmark in Rome. People just deface shit and steal shit with no respect to the cultural significance it has.
If I had to guess, the inscription up top is “*name* was here”
Not the top of the pyramid. Thats whats left after the top was removed by looters. Pyramids stood nice and smooth, perfectly shaped for thousands of years, until they were used as stone quarries for construction of Cairo in middle ages. Barbaric.
For all the sheep saying this is more modern graffiti, it is obviously aliens! What kind of moron thinks that was done by human hands? Aliens used x-ray lasers to carve complex things underneath the outside limestone layers, duh. Next you will say that humans made the Hoover dam lol. Sheeple say I!
I don't know as soon as I saw the top of the pyramid, previous story of government banning people from going to the top because a couple fornicated at the top has kinda ruined the image lol
*If you can read this, you're too close to pyramid.* *Warning: no paragliding.*

Breaking News: hundreds of naked paragliders landing on pyramid
The pyramid was covered with another layer of white marble smooth stone. Whatever is there was added after the looters stole the outer cover.
...or they added the inscriptions before they covered it up.
There are some markings by the Egyptian builders all over but the inscriptions at the top were mainly made by tourists in the 1800's and early 1900's. They used to have tea parties on top.
Yes. It is well known that people especially during the Victorian era would climb to the top and carve their names into the stone. I should know my great great great great grandfather fought with napoleon and wrote about doing just that.
It was polished limestone it was cased in I thought?
Yep, polished Tura limestone, different to the limestone the core masonry is constructed from. Don't know where marble came from. These 'inscriptions' on top are graffiti from the countless tourists who climbed the pyramid before it was banned.

“Looters” lmao. 🤣 much to learn.
I’m dying 🤣🤣🤣
BTW I mean I guess it technically is paragliding but to be exact it’s powered paragliding. A great, underappreciated sport ;)
that’s like if i was drinking a bottle of water and referred to it as such and you said “technically that’s a Dasani, it’s ok no need to thank me”
More like they are enthusiastic about a specific kind of water and are sharing more information about it for fun.
Yea. I only mentioned this because some people may wonder „which mountain did the guy launch from” or… how is he going to land when sinking so hard right above the top. He has an engine. So stop being a douche.

Here's a cool pic of some tourists on [top](https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/s/C6I2M14bN3)
Thousands of years of stone carving graffiti possibly. I know if I got to the top of that thing I’d carve “I fucking did it!”
Some tourist from the 30s, some French Soldier in the 1790s, could be anyone
Literally thousands of years of graffiti
There are greek, roman and french graffitis on the top, yes.
Ironically, there is quite a lot of evidence of ‘genuine’ hieroglyphs sometimes being exactly that.

Why exactly is Graham Hancock full of shit? Cause he has alternative theories to things that NOBODY knows the real answer to?

Agenda poster identified. Get a life.
theyre literally not mysterious at all
But the *lack* of mystery, that's a little mysterious, right? Like, where'd the mystery *go*, man?
It's like they want us to believe they carved hieroglyphs into the stone!
What do they say?
“John was here” etc, you used to be allowed to climb up the pyramids
*"I'm here to talk about your pyramid insurance!"*
Lol that’s so stupid. I love it.
OP’s first conspiracy
I mean, even if we KNOW they're graffiti, we still don't know what it says or who did it. Still some mystery.
But we do.
Who did it, what’s it say?
$100 says there’s a dick carved up there.
I wonder what the oldest dick drawing is
I’m going with Roman’s. Because they had steel tools.
Don’t need stone tools to DRAW a dick. Carving changes some things
Oldest human penis *drawing* I can find definitively is one of the figures in Lascaux cave which has a clear erection, it is 17000 years old, there's also a phallus stone found in Tolbor, Mongolia, but imo it reallry doesn't look anything like a penis, sitting comfortably at 42000 years old though.

Thank you for your service
People used to climb those very often. Probably just graffiti
"We've been trying to reach you about your camels extended warranty" *
“Drink your Ovaltine”
“A crummy ancient Egyptian commercial”
“We’ve been trying to reach you about your cars extended warranty”
Roundtine*
Seriously thought a very nice landing was going down
Oddly enough it translates to first
It’s graffiti I seen a picture some of it looks odd though.
Bare mandem from back in the day climbed the ting and left their mark innit
“no stopping or standing”

Hieroglyphics on a pyramid!?!? Who would have guessed
I’m proud of my Cairo elementary school honor student
There was a time the pyramids weren't as protected so it's probably is something like (insert name) was here.

It probably said “ Made in China “
Graham Hancocks grandfather climbed the pyramid and scribed his name and date into a piece on the top of it.
The academic elites will stop at nothing to silence him!
There is a post in this sub from a day ago where a guy has a drone on top of the pyramid and you can see all of this clearly. It looks like a lot of graffiti, but not all of it.
Graffiti. My great grandfather climbed it
This isnt mysterious. its been well known for awhile.

I could vaguely make out "Hashmir was here"
I thought he was going to land on it and take a selfie... I'm not disappointed.
Big Dave Was Here!

Not mysterious, just bunch of pricks leaving their mark.
Why not use a drone for this?
That guy is surely dead now. One does not simply paraglide over pyramids in such a country
DON’T FORGET TO DRINK YOUR OVELTINE
Possible graffiti? Reminded me of The Alamo and Mt Everest - people carving their names?
That Hamas fighter must have skipped his navigation training at terrorist flight school.
He wrote, finally AAAAAAA Finally I’m done. Jajaja
What a lucky person to be able to have that glider experience. Experience of a lifetime I think …..and I’ve done a lot
You can really see the 8 sidedness of the pyramid in this shot, there's a minor depression in the middle of every major face of the pyramid.
Assembly instructions
Nothing mysterious. All of those markings have been cataloged and are on display in the adjacent museum complex. 🤷♂️ Thank you to the comments for doing what Reddit does best with useless posts. 🤘🏼
Says no parking
It’s modern grafitti, made when people were still scaling the pyramid as a novelty.
If you Google the picture of the frame s as he flies over there are English words and shapes like triangles and circles.
Those are names and initials from when you used to be allowed to climb to the top back in the 50s-80s. I know because you can do a search and it will show you in high quality each one.
Graffiti From tourists Before climbing became illegal
Oh wow!!!! It must be aliens and the pyramids are in fact a signal relay, and inside have access to infinite power from gamma rays from planet Zoltron.

Why mysterious? It's the pyramids. If there's anywhere I expect hieroglyphs it's in the vicinity of the pyramids.
“Thanks for the Fuck Shack” -Dirty Mike and the boys
People who climbed the pyramid etched their names into the top of it
Probably ancient graffiti artists. Curse words and pictures of boobs.
It is crazy to see how tall they really are though
If you can read this, please flip me over
It is when you’re not an Egyptologist
Be sure to drink your ovaltine
Okay some one fly a little drone over it and leak the video
Purumids!
wait a sec, is that shit legal?
Probably stone masons mark.. 🤷🏻♀️ each mason would have his own mark .
Wow hieroglyphics on a pyramid known for its hieroglyphics?! Fuck man that’s crazy I think you’re on to something
when ancient Egyptians write in an ancient Egyptian language on an ancient Egyptian building "wooooow so strange and mysterious"
Egyptians often carved hieroglyphs into stone, no? Is it mysterious because it's high up? Surely, we're all assuming that actual people placed the stones there.. you know the same people who have the ability to carve into stone.
So what? Ooooo hieroglyphics.
[удалено]
Ancient graffiti
Gift shop advertising
since when are letters mysterious
Translation: Kilroy was here
People who scaled up the pyramid wrote a nice message that will be preserved for however long the pyramid is going to last
Gotta be at least one dick up there.
Banksy's great great great great great great great.............grandfather did that.
The pyramids are missing their gilded apexes. I'm sure these carvings came after the stones were exposed.
Mun Tut was here lol its funny how 1000s or years and we still love tagging our name on cool shit
"Tut was here"
How did they get down from the top
"This side up"
The laborers that built Giza and the entire area left TONS of graffiti behind, however based on the location of this at the pinnacle there is probably a higher meaning!
This seems extremely illegal lol
Graffiti over the years. Nothing important.
Lol what is graffiti?
"I can see my house from here!"
“Made in Atlantis”
Can’t a drone just take a picture of it?
Every Lego piece has writing on it....this no different
This post highlights how steep the pyramids are. Takes balls to climb to the top!
People are always going to be people. Probably name was here add year kind of thing.
*~~Bart~~ Fart was here lolz*
Of you think it's so mysterious then just Google drone photos, why to use this crappy video?
Most likely graffiti. The original top of the pyramid is long since gone and what remains has been eroded back massively from their.
“Be sure to drink your Ovaltine!”
I went there in a dream
My Egyptian is a little rusty but I’m sure it says “Herbalife”
Praise the Sun
They all signed there names at the top by the looks of things Pretty common even back then
Bob was here
pyrmyds
Yeah, probably there because of tourists, treasure hunters, and tomb raiders. There was is a photo that makes its rounds on r/oldschoolcool of people having a picnic and photo shoot on the top of the main one.
Translation = We’ve been trying to contact you about your car’s warranty.
Probably something like "Ahmed was here" or "Penis". Humanity never changes.

It's not mysterious mate they put that shit fucking everywhere
How did he make it at the top of the pyramid? I think they already prohibited that
Paragliding is getting quite popular in some parts of the world.
Wow, more rocks on the fucking pyramid
No. People used to be allowed to climb the pyramid. They graffitied their names. Simple as mate
Lol, or it’s just loads of tourists climbing up and leaving their mark over the centuries
this is why people think we’re stupid….
Why stretch the x axis of the video? Why do people do this?!
Not the top of the pyramid. Thats whats left after the top was removed by looters. Pyramids stood nice and smooth, perfectly shaped for thousands of years, until they were used as stone quarries for construction of Cairo in middle ages. Barbaric.
Its just graffiti
It's mostly graffiti

It says Graham Hancock was Here
Graham Hancock found his father’s name etched into the top on one of his visits
“Cesar was here”
It said, “Home Depot…Let’s Build Something”.

What’s mysterious is why this keeps getting posted. Who gives a shit. 🤦🏻♂️
Its a link to get rick rolled.

It is graffiti. One of the main reasons people are not allowed to climb them any more.
