In a surprising and unusual sighting, a stray dog was spotted lounging atop one of Egypt’s ancient pyramids. The dog, which appeared to have made its way to the top of the iconic structure on October 19, 2024, has left tourists and authorities alike baffled. Local guides at the Pyramids of Giza reported the incident, noting that while animals occasionally wander into the complex, it’s rare for them to ascend the ancient steps.
Photographs of the dog relaxing against the backdrop of one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World quickly went viral on social media, prompting amusement and concern. Egyptian authorities have launched an investigation into how the dog managed to scale the steep sides of the pyramid, as climbing the ancient structures is strictly prohibited.
While the dog appeared unharmed, animal welfare organizations have been contacted to ensure its safety and prevent similar incidents in the future.
