I’m from the UK and was reading the foreign office travel advice for Egypt and it states “You are not allowed to take or share photographs that could be considered damaging to the country’s image. You can only take photographs of Egyptian citizens if you have their written permission. Do not photograph officials without their consent. Taking pictures of children is not allowed.” I assume this is accurate as it’s on the government website. So my guess is that kid was trying to create an issue and what the police officer said was actually correct. Very bizarre though.

You're just a LITTLE bit off on your number of blocks guess... Taking the Great Pyramid of Cheops as an example: It is 449 ft (137m) high. That is just less than half the height of the Eiffel Tower in Paris (984 ft / 300m), but a good 150 ft taller than the Statue of Liberty in NYC (305 ft / 92m). Each side of the base is approximately 756 ft (230m) long, and the entire base covers an area of about 13 acres. For reference, an acre is 43,560 sq ft, or the equivalent of a square about 209 ft on each side. As far as blocks go, there are 2,300,000 blocks in the Great Pyramid, each one weighing an average of 2.5 tons (2.3 metric tons). That's 5,000 lbs, or 2,260 kg, which is about the size of a mid-sized pickup truck. The mathematics and feats of engineering that went into building the pyramids are AMAZING, even by today's standards...and remember, these structures were built between 2600 B.C. and 1500 B.C....in other words, 3,500 to 4,600 years ago. HOW they were built has been debated and changed with our evolving understanding of Egyptian society and their capabilities. Anything that is not 100% certain often ends up creating conspiracy theories and crazy ideas...like aliens or superpowered beings. In reality, they used thousands of slaves (guesses put the number anywhere from 20,000 to 100,000 per pyramid), for up to 2 decades to build each pyramid. Blocks were floated down the Nile on barges from the quarry where they were created, which was about 500 miles to the south, to the build sites during the 4-month flood period each year, and then hauled up to their positions using ropes, pulleys, rollers and levers...using a giant ramp made of brick, earth and sand that was added to piece by piece as the pyramid grew in height. But the math had to be EXACT, the angles PERFECT, from minute one til they were completed. One small mistake lower down would compound with each level, until they became impossible to fix by the time you reached the top. On the Great Pyramid, for example, each of the 4 corners of the pyramid had to rise at precisely 51.6°, CONSISTENTLY, or they would not meet at the top like they eventually did. Even today, with our modern technology, building methods and knowledge of mathematics, engineering and so on...we would be hard-pressed to create a pyramid like the ancient Egyptians did. We have created pyramids like the Luxor Hotel in Vegas, out of metal, steel-reinforced concrete, and glass...but we're not trying to build them out of 2.5 ton blocks of limestone that we have to haul 500 miles up a river, then haul up an earth and brick ramp BY HAND as much as 450 feet in the air. And the Egyptians weren't the ONLY ones building pyramids, either--multiple cultures across Central and South America also built their own unique pyramids. For example, the Incans of Peru built pyramids as early as 2,600 B.C., around the same time period as the Egyptians. The Mayans, who lived in what is now known as modern-day Mexico, also built pyramids, but much later--around the 3rd to 9th century A.D. (201 A.D. to 899 A.D., give or take). As awesome as the pyramids were, there were DOZENS of other structures built across the ancient world that didn't survive to modern times, but which were equally as amazing. Many are currently referred to as the "7 Wonders Of The Ancient World". There have been different lists, depending on who you ask and when...but the TRADITIONAL list includes: Great Pyramid of Giza Colossus of Rhodes Lighthouse of Alexandria Mausoleum at Halicarnassus Temple of Artemis Statue of Zeus at Olympia Hanging Gardens of Babylon Of those 7, the Great Pyramid of Giza is the only one that still exists today. From the descriptions and estimates of size (especially the Colossus of Rhodes, Library of Alexandria and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon), I think they would rival or even surpass the pyramids for the wonder they would generate if they were still around today. The ancient world, Roman and Greek Mythology, and History in general, were always my favorite and best subjects in school, and I have continued to study and learn about them long after my schooling was done. 😊😊😊
@@supremebuffalo6322 I wish I could have seen ALL of it in its prime, honestly. The Library At Alexandria (along with the Lighthouse, which was considered to be one of the 7 Wonders while the Library WASN'T...which, to me, BOTH should have been on the list), the Colossus of Rhodes, and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon especially. It was said that the Library at Alexandria contained every bit of collected knowledge in the known world on papyrus scrolls, knowledge that was mostly lost for centuries until future scientists rediscovered things, or redid experiments, and so on. The Lighthouse was constructed under the rule of Greek Ptolemy II, who became Pharoah of Egypt, and oversaw much of that country's enlightened period and scientific advancements. The Colossus of Rhodes was supposed to be approximately 105 feet tall, making it the largest statue ever constructed in ancient times. There were debates on how it was built and where it stood--some accounts said it straddled the entrance to a harbor, but modern thinking dispelled that theory. Most likely, it had a pedestal close to 60 feet wide, and the statue itself was made of stone, covered in bronze and other metals made from melting down weapons that Rhodes' enemies left behind in their defeat. Unfortunately, it onlu stood for about 5 1/2 decades (280 BC to 226 BC), until an earthquake snapped it at the knees. Later, further destruction took out what was left of it. And the Hanging Gardens of Babylon supposedly contained flowers and plants from every corner of the known world, and were so extensive that they stood 75-80 feet high, and covered an area 56 MILES LONG. For comparison's sake...the island of Manhattan is only 13.1 miles long. So imagine 4 Manhattans, end to end--THAT'S how big the Gardens were. They were supposedly built around 600 BC, several centuries before the Colossus...but ironically, they were destroyed by the exact same earthquake in 226 BC that felled the Colossus. The earthquake mostly affected the area around Rhodes, but was one of the 10 worst recorded earthquakes in the history of the world. Modern estimates place it at a 7.2 on the Richter Scale. The death toll was too high to count, and the destruction was widespread. This was long before modern anti-earthquake construction techniques, obviously, so the vast majority of structures couldn't withstand the quake. This is a brief Wiki article about the earthquake: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/226_BC_Rhodes_earthquake And THIS one is a breakdown of how the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World were destroyed (except for the Great Pyramid of Giza, which is the only one still standing): www.wearethemighty.com/mighty-history/how-wonders-of-the-world-were-destroyed/ This article describes what the Library at Alexandria contained, according to estimates, and the significance both the Library itself, and Alexandria as well, had in the ancient world, and how many scientific, artistic and other great works resulted from those who walked its halls: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library_of_Alexandria To me, the ancient world is a mystery, wrapped in an emigma. It has always fascinated me. If I had a time machine, and could go back and observe any time periods I wanted...the first 2 I would choose would be the 60s...and then Ancient Greece, Rome and Egypt. History and Mythology were 2 of my best subjects in school, and I still like to read Homer's Iliad and The Odyssey on occasion (although my ability to do so in the original Latin has gone by the wayside in the decades since I learned how). But to see these structures in their prime, not wiped out or ravaged by time and the elements...THAT would be the most amazing journey I could ever imagine undertaking. 🙂🙂🙂

Very incorrect. The kids simply want photos. I am Egyptian and I know how Egyptians are and I understand what they are saying. The pyramids scammers don't represent the Egyptian population.
I am not sure whether there is a law for that or not. But in the middle east there is a general understanding to not record people if they don’t want to be recorded even in public and especially if there are women.
There is . . . again as an american its widely known we arent liked or any westerner for that matter since we thunk our laws go for there. Christ most have laws against profanity or just loud talking i. MOST PUBLIC areas.
Another reason why the government and why things are so confusing in Egypt is because of how unorganized everything is. Ambassadors from Egypt come to my school to try to learn to do school better there.

The pyramids of Egypt were made by people going down the Nile River in collecting clay to form the gigantic blocks. Then slaves then brought the gigantic blocks of Clay to the resting points of the pyramids. then they used ramps and other things to get the blocks of clay which again are gigantic up and up and up to make Rows getting smaller and smaller until the top. Also the reason why these gigantic pyramids were built was to connect Pharaohs or other respected people to the gods they thought The point from the pyramid would send their natural spirits up into The skies where they could be reunited with God. These pyramids are also called tombs because they contain the dead bodies of said respected people or pharaohs but they also contain many positions by those people. Ancient Egyptians thought that these people would need these items in the afterlife so they had to be close to the people that were in the tomb.

Actually photography was prohibited when I went there 2 years ago. When they that unrest. When I was there I got stopped by police for taking a photo of a building.
Just by curiosity... How do that people scamm you? I only know they then say "its not free" because people say that. But when that happens you cant just say "i dont care, you say free bye"? I never understood why.

Also, about the issues you ran into about taking photos...I looked it up, and apparently, they used to have a LOT of strict rules about public photography, only SOME of which was relaxed by the government in August 2022. Some depends on what KIND of camera you're using. If you're just taking pictures with your cellphone, you're generally fine. Larger and more professional cameras often require permits to use in public, and especially in more private settings. Certain things are expressly forbidden, such as taking photos of police, military, or places that have strategic importance (like the Aswan Dam, for example). Another no-no is taking photos of children (though what ages are considered children were not exactly specified). That may be why the cop gave you a hard time, and the kids walked away from you. Breaking certain rules involving photography can result in punishments that include heavy fines, confiscation of equipment, even imprisonment. And jails in Egypt are no joke. This quote is from the article linked below, which has some pretty good info on photography in Egypt: "While photography in public places and on the streets of Egypt is now allowed, this change in the rules does not mean that you photograph whatever you want. It’s wise to avoid taking photos of the police or anything that could be considered of strategic or military importance, such as the dams in Aswan. Punishment, even for innocently taken photos, can be imprisonment. Taking photos of children is not allowed and snapping photos of adults requires their written consent." www.lonelyplanet.com/news/egypt-relaxes-photo-ban
@mrolliepoper Partially. The bigger part is the fact that far too many people do not properly research other countries they're planning on visiting, to see what local laws, customs, or other issues might apply to them. For example, in certain countries, the typical hand wave we use is considered a high insult to many traditional people. In others, drinking, or eating certain foods, is considered sacrilegious (like eating beef in parts of India, where cows are considered sacred...which is why in burger joints there, burgers are not made out of beef). So it's always best to know what things are acceptable or not if you're going to visit another country, and plan on going off on your own. If you're on a guided tour, you're usually paired with a guide who knows the area, and the customs, so they can protect you from yourself.
I think there are 2 possible ways that the pyramids were built, one was with a ramp that was wrapped around the outside of the pyramids and the other is with a interior ramp that was filled in once the pyramid was completed, the stones were dug from multiple different quarys and one of them was over 100 miles away, and they moved the stones by putting them on a sled, putting the sled on a row of logs, tying ropes to the sled, getting the logs wet so they are slippery and role better, and a bunch of men pull on the ropes, draging it along, they transported the stones to the nile this way and took them the rest of the way by boat, then they draged the stones from the boat, to the pyramids, up the ramp, and into place. I think there are 1.5 million blocks in the biggest one I think a lot of people get confused on which one is the biggest, the biggest is not the one with the smooth cap on it, of the other two the larger of the ones with no smooth cap is the biggest.
Is this an act you are putting on, or are you really act this stupid in a foreign country. And the fact that you said 150 “blocks” OMG I just hope this is an act
You stand next to someone and blow your cigarette smoke infront of their face and he gets mad at you and say stop would you tell him I'm on a public street? Just be careful in public. One or two guys with a camera being a bit awkward is a bit creepy, and people will tell you to stop. It's a normal thing to do, you have to admit.
He wasn’t blowing smoke in anyone’s face. He was recording. Also, I would be on edge with the scammers as well. Because of the scammers, I assume everyone going up to are behaving in bad faith. Maybe it’s unfriendly, but the Egyptians that live there created that environment, so if they are offended, they should stop scamming people.
@@PatrickAung93It's not just egypt, there's even more scammers in just one city in the US than Egypts entirety, only capitalism has refined it to be as effective and discreet as possible on the largest scale.

Good video you seem to be enjoying yourself especially solo in Egypt! I got a question how much money do you think I should have in my savings before I start traveling?
It really just depends what you wanna do, some people save no money and just work as volenteers and get by with any means, some travel in luxury. Just find what you wanna do and see the average cost of things mulitplied by the amount of time you wanna leave for
depends also on how long you stay, i bring abt 1500 for clothes jewelry, things to do ect and i stay with my boyfriend and his family so i don’t have to worry about housing but i would recommend a hostel cause u most likely would have other solo travelers around you and the hostels usually host events for their guest. if you want to rent an apartment for a month it’s abt 600 but make sure it has a update kitchen and ac oh and it’s on the 3rd floor up

He ment to climb to the top......250 stones from top to bottom
You're just a LITTLE bit off on your number of blocks guess...
Taking the Great Pyramid of Cheops as an example:
It is 449 ft (137m) high. That is just less than half the height of the Eiffel Tower in Paris (984 ft / 300m), but a good 150 ft taller than the Statue of Liberty in NYC (305 ft / 92m).
Each side of the base is approximately 756 ft (230m) long, and the entire base covers an area of about 13 acres. For reference, an acre is 43,560 sq ft, or the equivalent of a square about 209 ft on each side.
As far as blocks go, there are 2,300,000 blocks in the Great Pyramid, each one weighing an average of 2.5 tons (2.3 metric tons). That's 5,000 lbs, or 2,260 kg, which is about the size of a mid-sized pickup truck.
The mathematics and feats of engineering that went into building the pyramids are AMAZING, even by today's standards...and remember, these structures were built between 2600 B.C. and 1500 B.C....in other words, 3,500 to 4,600 years ago.
HOW they were built has been debated and changed with our evolving understanding of Egyptian society and their capabilities. Anything that is not 100% certain often ends up creating conspiracy theories and crazy ideas...like aliens or superpowered beings.
In reality, they used thousands of slaves (guesses put the number anywhere from 20,000 to 100,000 per pyramid), for up to 2 decades to build each pyramid.
Blocks were floated down the Nile on barges from the quarry where they were created, which was about 500 miles to the south, to the build sites during the 4-month flood period each year, and then hauled up to their positions using ropes, pulleys, rollers and levers...using a giant ramp made of brick, earth and sand that was added to piece by piece as the pyramid grew in height.
But the math had to be EXACT, the angles PERFECT, from minute one til they were completed. One small mistake lower down would compound with each level, until they became impossible to fix by the time you reached the top. On the Great Pyramid, for example, each of the 4 corners of the pyramid had to rise at precisely 51.6°, CONSISTENTLY, or they would not meet at the top like they eventually did.
Even today, with our modern technology, building methods and knowledge of mathematics, engineering and so on...we would be hard-pressed to create a pyramid like the ancient Egyptians did. We have created pyramids like the Luxor Hotel in Vegas, out of metal, steel-reinforced concrete, and glass...but we're not trying to build them out of 2.5 ton blocks of limestone that we have to haul 500 miles up a river, then haul up an earth and brick ramp BY HAND as much as 450 feet in the air.
And the Egyptians weren't the ONLY ones building pyramids, either--multiple cultures across Central and South America also built their own unique pyramids.
For example, the Incans of Peru built pyramids as early as 2,600 B.C., around the same time period as the Egyptians. The Mayans, who lived in what is now known as modern-day Mexico, also built pyramids, but much later--around the 3rd to 9th century A.D. (201 A.D. to 899 A.D., give or take).
As awesome as the pyramids were, there were DOZENS of other structures built across the ancient world that didn't survive to modern times, but which were equally as amazing. Many are currently referred to as the "7 Wonders Of The Ancient World".
There have been different lists, depending on who you ask and when...but the TRADITIONAL list includes:
Great Pyramid of Giza
Colossus of Rhodes
Lighthouse of Alexandria
Mausoleum at Halicarnassus
Temple of Artemis
Statue of Zeus at Olympia
Hanging Gardens of Babylon
Of those 7, the Great Pyramid of Giza is the only one that still exists today.
From the descriptions and estimates of size (especially the Colossus of Rhodes, Library of Alexandria and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon), I think they would rival or even surpass the pyramids for the wonder they would generate if they were still around today.
The ancient world, Roman and Greek Mythology, and History in general, were always my favorite and best subjects in school, and I have continued to study and learn about them long after my schooling was done. 😊😊😊
Egyptologists have discovered that they were built by labourers not slaves. The old testament is not a historical document.

Thank you for taking the time to write it all. Cheers from Brazil
I wish I could've seen the Library of Alexandria
@@supremebuffalo6322 I wish I could have seen ALL of it in its prime, honestly. The Library At Alexandria (along with the Lighthouse, which was considered to be one of the 7 Wonders while the Library WASN'T...which, to me, BOTH should have been on the list), the Colossus of Rhodes, and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon especially.
It was said that the Library at Alexandria contained every bit of collected knowledge in the known world on papyrus scrolls, knowledge that was mostly lost for centuries until future scientists rediscovered things, or redid experiments, and so on. The Lighthouse was constructed under the rule of Greek Ptolemy II, who became Pharoah of Egypt, and oversaw much of that country's enlightened period and scientific advancements.
The Colossus of Rhodes was supposed to be approximately 105 feet tall, making it the largest statue ever constructed in ancient times. There were debates on how it was built and where it stood--some accounts said it straddled the entrance to a harbor, but modern thinking dispelled that theory.
Most likely, it had a pedestal close to 60 feet wide, and the statue itself was made of stone, covered in bronze and other metals made from melting down weapons that Rhodes' enemies left behind in their defeat. Unfortunately, it onlu stood for about 5 1/2 decades (280 BC to 226 BC), until an earthquake snapped it at the knees. Later, further destruction took out what was left of it.
And the Hanging Gardens of Babylon supposedly contained flowers and plants from every corner of the known world, and were so extensive that they stood 75-80 feet high, and covered an area 56 MILES LONG. For comparison's sake...the island of Manhattan is only 13.1 miles long. So imagine 4 Manhattans, end to end--THAT'S how big the Gardens were. They were supposedly built around 600 BC, several centuries before the Colossus...but ironically, they were destroyed by the exact same earthquake in 226 BC that felled the Colossus.
The earthquake mostly affected the area around Rhodes, but was one of the 10 worst recorded earthquakes in the history of the world. Modern estimates place it at a 7.2 on the Richter Scale. The death toll was too high to count, and the destruction was widespread. This was long before modern anti-earthquake construction techniques, obviously, so the vast majority of structures couldn't withstand the quake.
This is a brief Wiki article about the earthquake:
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/226_BC_Rhodes_earthquake
And THIS one is a breakdown of how the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World were destroyed (except for the Great Pyramid of Giza, which is the only one still standing):
www.wearethemighty.com/mighty-history/how-wonders-of-the-world-were-destroyed/
This article describes what the Library at Alexandria contained, according to estimates, and the significance both the Library itself, and Alexandria as well, had in the ancient world, and how many scientific, artistic and other great works resulted from those who walked its halls:
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library_of_Alexandria
To me, the ancient world is a mystery, wrapped in an emigma. It has always fascinated me. If I had a time machine, and could go back and observe any time periods I wanted...the first 2 I would choose would be the 60s...and then Ancient Greece, Rome and Egypt.
History and Mythology were 2 of my best subjects in school, and I still like to read Homer's Iliad and The Odyssey on occasion (although my ability to do so in the original Latin has gone by the wayside in the decades since I learned how). But to see these structures in their prime, not wiped out or ravaged by time and the elements...THAT would be the most amazing journey I could ever imagine undertaking. 🙂🙂🙂
I know at least 3 of those kids pickpocketed him while pretending to take a picture 😂
You are BOLD for going anywhere in Egypt without a guide 😂
You can tell the kids even are trying to find an angle to get a dollar out of tourists! Like the kid in sunglasses
As an Egyptian, I am telling you, you are wrong and the pyramid scammers don't represent even 1% of Egyptian population.
What where the guys at 6 mins in upto? Thinking pickpockets surely? There are plenty of tourists in that spot so it's not like they haven't seen a white man before.
He said they wanted a picture because his jersey but they definitely tried to pickpocket him a few times
23:07 After walking past people he says "And no one is in here", LOL.
14:05 that poor man who didnt get a handshake 💀💀💀
I came to watch scammers at the pyramids. Left knowing M. Salah is tne real Pharaoh
I love how EVERYONE that goes has a miserable expirence from the police and scammers are annoying AF
At 19:09 you can tell by the bubble holes on the rocks that at one point it was underwater for a very long time 😮
That can be caused by wind lol
You wouldn't have had much of a problem if you didn't yell hi to everyone you walked past. You make a huge scene. Keep a low profile with your head down. Don't talk to anyone. You would have been fine.
People said hi to me and I responded. I’m a nice guy, if people wanna talk to me I’m going to talk to them. Low profile sounds lame

The ancient Magi describes how heavy stones were moved. It was with sound. High frequency sounds used to float the stones. Graham Hancock came up with that from his research I think it was in his 2nd book "magicians of the gods" 1:21

Homie, hit him with a quick complementing complicated word to confuse him for a sec and it worked. The kid left them alone. LMFAO I see you number 1 king😂
You officially have the biggest balls in Egypt lol. I laughed so hard. You actually said who am I offending? The aliens lmao
Went there last year- HATED it..Scammers ruin the ruins. can’t escape them. Just never go back
you're a local kid, really think they would be hanging out all day there? every big group asking for photo is trying to pickpocket you
Very incorrect. The kids simply want photos. I am Egyptian and I know how Egyptians are and I understand what they are saying. The pyramids scammers don't represent the Egyptian population.
Scammers are the scummiest, most pathetic people.
I am not sure whether there is a law for that or not. But in the middle east there is a general understanding to not record people if they don’t want to be recorded even in public and especially if there are women.
I don't think there's a for for that...
There is . . . again as an american its widely known we arent liked or any westerner for that matter since we thunk our laws go for there. Christ most have laws against profanity or just loud talking i. MOST PUBLIC areas.
in germany youre also not allowed to record someone without consent
It is simple : ignore them. Do not talk to them. Otherwise, you are playinf the game. Do not complain later.
The people staring at him in the background of the recordings lol
Yeah it was almost everyone in the back round was staring at him in some shots.
10:02 dude just standing heartbroken he didn’t fall for the scam 😂
"Mucho Gusto" to Egyptian kids is awesome!
Reason they want to take pictures with you is so they can pickpocket your ass
Another reason why the government and why things are so confusing in Egypt is because of how unorganized everything is. Ambassadors from Egypt come to my school to try to learn to do school better there.
Those kids wanted pictures to give the drop on you 😭😂 no wonder all those people came up to you
they were pickpockets
@@pierre4799 No they weren't
@@ahmedhany7035 they were
Nothing better than having some one that actually lives there show you around. You went to the pyramids but you didnt go to the pyramids.
9:30 did he really say he thinks there 150-250 blocks, everything this guy did got dummer and dummer, I lost brain cells
It was a joke bro lmao
I believe he’s saying he would have to climb 150-250 blocks to get to the top
What an ironic assertion to make, given that you can't spell the word 'dumber'.
I hope you enjoy your trip to Egypt, and the fact that dude is accusing aliens of building pyramids is killing me as much as the scammers.I hope you enjoyed your trip to Egypt, and the fact that dude is accusing aliens of building pyramids is killing me as much as the scammers do.
I don't know only one people who was at the pyramids without a problem of crooks and lack of respect, insults etc.
Was going to say the same he definitely didn’t understand all the risks. He took letting them get close enough to pocket him if he had anything valuable on him or if he didn’t know at all, I’m sure he did and did that on purpose to an extent, also with an open mind, every place and country has the good the bad, the beautiful and the ugly, don’t let this get you down about traveling just smarter about it. The world is a beautiful place. You just have to be careful when you’re in unfamiliar surroundings. This always be a high alert no matter where you are.❤
14:05 he left dat one guy hangin. His homie gve him a hand tho🤣
Awesome that you just wandered off too cool! The road less traveled
Dude you run around in a third world Islamic country with a red shirt, dyed hair, talking to a camera while wildly gesticulating at times... You're in grave danger 🤣
boy went to tell the police officer that you wanted to take a photo with him and you thought he wanted to take a photo with you hahahah
Pretty sure all the picture request is to mark you as a target 😂
The pyramids of Egypt were made by people going down the Nile River in collecting clay to form the gigantic blocks. Then slaves then brought the gigantic blocks of Clay to the resting points of the pyramids. then they used ramps and other things to get the blocks of clay which again are gigantic up and up and up to make Rows getting smaller and smaller until the top. Also the reason why these gigantic pyramids were built was to connect Pharaohs or other respected people to the gods they thought The point from the pyramid would send their natural spirits up into The skies where they could be reunited with God. These pyramids are also called tombs because they contain the dead bodies of said respected people or pharaohs but they also contain many positions by those people. Ancient Egyptians thought that these people would need these items in the afterlife so they had to be close to the people that were in the tomb.

At least his friend saved him from embarrassment
Thanks for the video. I have been to Cairo over half a dozen times. It was nice to visit the site again. I did stay in 3 star to 5 star hotels. But this one was out of my budget. Let me tell you even 3 star hotels were good. I did try Street food. It was great and cheap.

Actually photography was prohibited when I went there 2 years ago. When they that unrest. When I was there I got stopped by police for taking a photo of a building.
police jst said that thinking that hes protecting you !
9:12 does the original facade that used to cover the entire thing it was once covered in marble
Just by curiosity... How do that people scamm you? I only know they then say "its not free" because people say that. But when that happens you cant just say "i dont care, you say free bye"?
I never understood why.
Some people can’t resist a bit of pressure and don’t know the fair price, so end up giving too much.
why did i wrote that in a such awfull english? I swear im not that bad at it 😭

Also, about the issues you ran into about taking photos...I looked it up, and apparently, they used to have a LOT of strict rules about public photography, only SOME of which was relaxed by the government in August 2022.
Some depends on what KIND of camera you're using. If you're just taking pictures with your cellphone, you're generally fine. Larger and more professional cameras often require permits to use in public, and especially in more private settings.
Certain things are expressly forbidden, such as taking photos of police, military, or places that have strategic importance (like the Aswan Dam, for example). Another no-no is taking photos of children (though what ages are considered children were not exactly specified). That may be why the cop gave you a hard time, and the kids walked away from you.
Breaking certain rules involving photography can result in punishments that include heavy fines, confiscation of equipment, even imprisonment. And jails in Egypt are no joke.
This quote is from the article linked below, which has some pretty good info on photography in Egypt:
"While photography in public places and on the streets of Egypt is now allowed, this change in the rules does not mean that you photograph whatever you want. It’s wise to avoid taking photos of the police or anything that could be considered of strategic or military importance, such as the dams in Aswan. Punishment, even for innocently taken photos, can be imprisonment.
Taking photos of children is not allowed and snapping photos of adults requires their written consent."

I gave u disslike
ithink the problem is when tourist think their home countrys rules applyto the country they are visiting
@mrolliepoper Partially. The bigger part is the fact that far too many people do not properly research other countries they're planning on visiting, to see what local laws, customs, or other issues might apply to them.
For example, in certain countries, the typical hand wave we use is considered a high insult to many traditional people. In others, drinking, or eating certain foods, is considered sacrilegious (like eating beef in parts of India, where cows are considered sacred...which is why in burger joints there, burgers are not made out of beef).
So it's always best to know what things are acceptable or not if you're going to visit another country, and plan on going off on your own. If you're on a guided tour, you're usually paired with a guide who knows the area, and the customs, so they can protect you from yourself.
Why anybody goes to Egypt is beside me, that place sucks man. It's a one and done trip and or just Google the pyramids and save yourself the hassle.
Such a good human being... I respect you my friend
Thank you bro!
14:09 the guy shaking his friends hand because you shook everybody but his 😂
Why do you continue the conversations with the scammers? I'd just walk away
From most videos i seen theyll continue to follow you from a distance. Once they find their mark theyll try an keep tabs on you.
I think there are 2 possible ways that the pyramids were built, one was with a ramp that was wrapped around the outside of the pyramids and the other is with a interior ramp that was filled in once the pyramid was completed, the stones were dug from multiple different quarys and one of them was over 100 miles away, and they moved the stones by putting them on a sled, putting the sled on a row of logs, tying ropes to the sled, getting the logs wet so they are slippery and role better, and a bunch of men pull on the ropes, draging it along, they transported the stones to the nile this way and took them the rest of the way by boat, then they draged the stones from the boat, to the pyramids, up the ramp, and into place.
I think there are 1.5 million blocks in the biggest one
I think a lot of people get confused on which one is the biggest, the biggest is not the one with the smooth cap on it, of the other two the larger of the ones with no smooth cap is the biggest.
Is this an act you are putting on, or are you really act this stupid in a foreign country. And the fact that you said 150 “blocks” OMG I just hope this is an act
The fact that you're even questioning that the '150 blocks' line could be real makes me question if your really that stupid
Seriously, how many times did you have to (unnecessarily… or apparently for ijeets like gregy up there) say SATIRICAL
Gregy, your jealous is showing
To be fair, this man says everything but never says 'no.'
You stand next to someone and blow your cigarette smoke infront of their face and he gets mad at you and say stop would you tell him I'm on a public street? Just be careful in public. One or two guys with a camera being a bit awkward is a bit creepy, and people will tell you to stop. It's a normal thing to do, you have to admit.
Totally agree with you - he’s ignorant and rude 90% of the time and shoves his camera in peoples faces lol. Has no respect for the people there
He wasn’t blowing smoke in anyone’s face. He was recording. Also, I would be on edge with the scammers as well. Because of the scammers, I assume everyone going up to are behaving in bad faith. Maybe it’s unfriendly, but the Egyptians that live there created that environment, so if they are offended, they should stop scamming people.
@banyasbeansofficial6484 Smoke in the face was a metaphor. You know what that is right? Because if you do then your comment is weird.
@CELINExDION He wasn't really shoving the camera in people's face. But the Smoke metaphor is the best I got from the top of my head lol

Good video you seem to be enjoying yourself especially solo in Egypt! I got a question how much money do you think I should have in my savings before I start traveling?
It really just depends what you wanna do, some people save no money and just work as volenteers and get by with any means, some travel in luxury. Just find what you wanna do and see the average cost of things mulitplied by the amount of time you wanna leave for
500-1000 for a good trip 1200+ for luxury
depends also on how long you stay, i bring abt 1500 for clothes jewelry, things to do ect and i stay with my boyfriend and his family so i don’t have to worry about housing but i would recommend a hostel cause u most likely would have other solo travelers around you and the hostels usually host events for their guest. if you want to rent an apartment for a month it’s abt 600 but make sure it has a update kitchen and ac oh and it’s on the 3rd floor up
