Russian photographers secretly climb the Pyramids to capture gorgeous images

19/4/2013

Russian photographers caused quite a controversy 4 weeks ago when they published a set of stunning images captured from the top of the Great Pyramid of Giza. The photos, published on Mokhorov's LiveJournal page, provide a rare view of one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

Once the pyramids complex had closed to tourists, Makhorov and his two friends, Vitaliy Raskalov and Marat Dupri, staked out for nearly five hours, hiding themselves from Egypt's armed guards. Once the coast was clear, they climbed 481-feet to the top of the pyramids, where they captured amazing shots of the Giza Necropolis, while avoiding the sights of the guards below. According to Raskalov, they would have faced between one and three years in jail, had they been caught.

"I've always been drawn to Egypt," Makhorov wrote. "For as long as I can remember my dream was to get to the top of the Great Pyramid of Giza."
"We didn't want to insult anyone," He continued. "We were just following the dream."

What is your reaction to this act?
Are you WOWed by the images, or you think it is insulting to the culture?

Egypt is really one of the best places to visit on the entire planet. One, who has been to Egypt more than 15 times, still can keep returning to see something new! I had visited Egypt with my family through a well-known travel agency . It was really an amazing tour for me. Great pyramid of Giza is one of the most wonderful places on the entire planet. It is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza. It’s the oldest of the seven wonders of the ancient world, and the only one to remain largely intact.
Appreciable post it is..!!! ❤

Your blog is fantastic! Thanks for the information, we’re planning on going in February any idea how crowded it will be? Also it sounds like we can get a room at that hotel get up early and just go for it no tour guide needed? This is a well-informed post. Thank you for that. ❤

Nice write up. I often create tables on my WordPress blog for comparisons or listing features. I was using TinyMCE for the purpose earlier and recently I shifted to TablePress. It is a fantastic plugin with many customization features and attractive design.
Thanks for the writing,

Nice Information...
In 2007 a public and international contest was held – under the organization of the Swiss Bernard Weber – to choose the New Seven Wonders of the Modern World. After the voting of more than 100 million people, the results were announced: Here we explain one by one with details:
