Dog effortlessly scales 480ft Great Pyramid of Giza

A dog was filmed effortlessly scaling a 481ft pyramid in Egypt — the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World — on Wednesday, 16 October.

The canine scampered down the side of the Great Pyramid of Giza, hopping over large chunks of limestone.

It was previously spotted loitering near the top of the ancient structure by a paraglider.

Witness Lauren Rathvon said: “I saw this dog climbing down the Great Pyramid in Giza like it was nothing.

“It’s just a hop, skip, and a jump for them.”

This is not a dog, this is the guardian of the Great Pyramid

It’s 448 feet high. There’s a jagged rock cliff at a park here that’s 650 feet that many people think is scary, but dogs go up and down it effortlessly. The rocks can get hot, though, and that hurts their paws. This dog goes up it frequently.
