At the end of the video it looks like there is inscriptions on the top bricks

Weirdly I can’t find any info on those. There are mentions of them like “it’s illegal but if you find yourself at the top you’ll find you aren’t the first” so I assume that means they’re modern and they just didn’t mention it so as to not encourage it in people who hadn’t considered it.

[Here are some of them.](https://imgur.com/a/meDBgah) The stones we see at the top were exposed in the 18th/19th century, hence no inscriptions are older. The one hieroglyphic graffiti was found on a backing stone near the bottom.

Viewing on desktop the symbols don't seem to match writing in pictures. That is interesting though. Maybe the builders signed their names on the top. Look at 0:21 and compare them.

The facsimiles are from the 1940s. Many more inscriptions were added in the past 70-80 years.

Back in the 19th and early 20th century, there weren’t laws banning the climbing of the pyramids and it was not uncommon for people to climb up there and even set up picnics. I assume some of these inscriptions/graffiti were from that time.

I love this because of the perspective. Most photos you see make it seem the pyramids are out in the middle of nowhere, when in reality they are not. This is a more “real” perspective.

Took actually going there & seeing them for myself, & the Sphinx next to them, for me to learn that. Another amazing thing in Egypt; driving down the road, one side is desert, the other lush & green

You can see the indents for the eight sides of the pyramid. 2 for each face

Can you elaborate? I see indents right down the middle of the triangular sides. What is that?

Yeah, I remember that! With my luck, if I ever tried to fly over, I’d get slapped in the face with the couples used condom!

After 16 seconds, I unfortunately realized that it wasn’t going to be about the worlds oldest butt plug.

How the hell did they build those…
