The Great Pyramid of Giza is one of the wonders of the world that has stood the test of time. It remains a marvelous mystery of human architecture as to how the technology of those times managed to build such a structure. It also makes for an amazing scene for visitors to Egypt. However, very few manage to view the topmost point of the Great Pyramid of Giza. A Brazilian, though, recently had the chance and did not miss the chance to capture a memorable clip of the flight.
If you are not on some kind of special objective, visitors can, if they are lucky, catch a glimpse of the top of the pyramids when their flights land in Egypt. However, 35-year-old Brazilian Yanis Terzis got up close and personal with the topmost point of the pyramid using his paramotor. Yanis is a psychiatric administrator and a pilot and hails from Campinas in Brazil. His objective was to fly over several ancient Egyptian sites. The list included the Sphinx. He accomplished it while traveling to Luxor and Cairo in Egypt as part of a paramotor event. A paramotor is similar to a normal paraglider, except it also has an enormous fan at the back, which helps with propulsion.
What Is At The Top Of The Great Pyramid Of Giza?
Terzis attached a GoPro Hero 10 to his helmet to film his adventure. Now, to clarify, he was not doing anything illegal. He had already procured permission to take flight over the ancient structures. Terzis hoped to capture “some of the most amazing footage from a different angle over the pyramids and temples.” Check out the clip:
For the flight over the Great Pyramid of Giza, he decided to take a bit of risk and get as close to the ground as he could. He likes to do that sometimes, and it has provided him with astounding scenes that have garnered more than 7 million views on YouTube. This time around he was so close that he could have touched the pyramid’s tip if he wanted to with his feet. For Terzis, the memory will remain with him for life. After all, very few individuals ever get the chance to see the topside of these structures.
