My grandfather visited Egypt in the 1930s. He recalled there were teams of men up and down the Great Pyramid working the tourist industry. They formed a "bucket brigade" that would physically toss tourists from one to another "like a sack of potatoes" up and back down the pyramid. He paid to do it. He said the view from the top was amazing, but he was unsure of the wisdom of doing it at the time and still decades later.
"Young Pyramids"
Visualization of the Giza necropolis as it would have appeared just after the completion of the last pyramid, sometime around 2800 BCE, looking west a few hours after dawn.
The Giza pyramid’s smooth casings of polished limestone and gold-plated pyramidions make the tombs significantly larger than they appear today. Placed without any gaps for thermal expansion, the casing on Khufu’s Great pyramid, seen on the right, will begin to crack after a few decades.
Earthquakes, architectural robbery and deliberate damage over the following millennia will hasten the process of destruction, reducing the pyramids to the state they are seen in today.
Hidden below the peaks of the dunes are the Sphinx and associated mortuary temples together with the worker city to the south, abandoned now that the decades-long construction project is finally complete.

Boing Boing: Mr Beast rents out Giza’s pyramids in possibly the most conspicuous consumption of all time. “Not content to spend 100 hours in pedestrian venues like his own house, Jimmy ‘Culture of Misogyny and Sexism’ Beast has moved on to renting out wonders of the world for his entourage to crash in.”
Smithsonian Magazine: Experts Are Alarmed by a Video of Workers Hammering Away at Egypt’s Great Pyramid of Giza. “Outrage and concern haven’t abated since a video of maintenance workers hammering away at Egypt’s Great Pyramid of Giza went viral late last year. In the clip, two workers in high visibility vests appeared to use hammers and chisels to break apart stone blocks on the […]

For some reason I went down a youtube rabbit hole and I've just spent an hour of my life on a documentary about stone tunnels in Giza's pyramid.
It's quite thrilling to watch such a calm documentary about that topic because all the "popular science" stuff about pyramids is usually about mysticism or aliens. That guy's videos, on the other hand, teach interesting bits about stone masonry and the mindset of the builders as well as the early explorers.

Totally demolishes the popular theory of the channels being aligned to stars: they're not straight. But there is MUCH more to this vid. Very detailed analysis.

Fort Lauderdale experienced 24 hours "rain bomb" 🌧 a few days ago. So roughly what is 25 inches of rain equal to?
- 129 times the volume of the #GreatPyramid of Giza.
- 134,120 times the volume of an Olympic-size swimming pool.
- 3 months of residential water consumption in #NewYork City.
- The drinking water consumed by the entire #US population in 1.46 years.
- 5.5 hours’ worth of discharge from the Mississippi River.

"The Great Pyramid of Giza continues to surprise us with hidden secrets and intriguing anomalies that have yet to be properly investigated. The visual inspection of the North Face Corridor announced on March 2, 2023 is hopefully the beginning of many more revelations to come."
