This tells the true story of a man who has committed a folly. Just the day before yesterday returned from a hot Cairo. I want to tell you a little story about how we climbed to the top of one of the seven wonders of the world. To get to the pyramid for that, we had about 5 hours to hide from the guards at the tomb near the foot of Cheops, shivering from the cold. We had to climb. It#39;s now or never!
Climbing on the flagstones on the most ancient buildings of humanity to the sound of prayers echoing peals of scary at Giza, realizing that here now and we#39;ll be at the top, for fear that we may see an armed guard, to admire the spectacle, realize that you climb on a single escaped wonder of the world, risking his death. It was one of the busiest nights of my life. Many thanks to good friends who have been there and supported the crazy idea to climb is not a pyramid.
We got on the territory of the pyramids earlier in the day, as most regular travelers on the ticket. The complex is open from 9 am to 4 pm. Actually at 4 pm we sat down, and began to wait for darkness and for a chance to get into that-be.
The process of ascension. Climb over the rocks very dangerous, many of them pours right under your feet. The height of the pyramid is almost 140 meters, the base of 922 meters.
The main view of the Pyramid of Khafre, there is more to be honest there is nothing to remove.
At the very top of the pyramid so many paintings and inscriptions, and in many different languages. Starting from the Arab, ending Russian, French. There are legends that here there is also a painting of Nikolai II.
At the edge of the stand was dangerous, could see guards. By this all the pictures were in that position. Thanks for the pics again dedmaxopka. Just want to tell you that according to the law of Egypt, the penetration of the pyramids can be punished with imprisonment from 1 to 3 years.
This is what we have at the top of the pyramid of Menkaure, it is the smallest of the three great pyramids. Its height of only 65 meters. It can be taken away very easily, it almost does not guarded.
All of this wilderness is the way the territory of the complex Egyptian pyramids.
From the pyramids on it all.
We returned to Cairo and settled in the city center, to be honest Cairo is one of those cities where you do not want to come back.
Faceless and gray city on all sides surrounded by slums.
Cairo area of 214km?, But its metropolitan population reaches 30 million people, making it one of the most densely populated cities in the world.
In Cairo is going on is the real fun, almost every weekend there arrange protests with arson. Recently here burned police department.
Here, for example, we were walking down the street, and then Oban, and someone in one of the buildings has launched a Molotov cocktail.
Tahrir Square, where hundreds of protesters are living in tents. Their favorite activity in the evenings, it doebatsya to tourists or to each other a fist fight. Most of the protesters are young people under the age of 25 years, all of them are unemployed. Looked like the area in November 2012.
Local street art, next to the area is not recommended even get a camera. There may well hung and break technique.
Somehow it ended Cairo. I hope here will not go back.
