A man paragliding over Egypt’s Great Pyramid of Giza on Monday spotted the jaw-dropping sight of a barking dog atop the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the World.
The footage of the Egyptian landmark — built more than 4,500 years ago — shows Marshall Mosher soaring in the desert sky in a paramotor when he zooms in on the top of the pyramid to find a dog casually having his day.
“A dog climbed all the way up the Great Pyramid of Giza!” Mosher wrote in amazement, with his clip going viral on Instagram. Many on the platform joked that Mosher and his friends had come across Anubis — the Egyptian god of the underworld who is often portrayed with a canine head — with the public dubbing the hound “Anubis Pup.”

Maybe it’s cooler up there.
I might be able to climb up (it’s against the law there) but I doubt I’d be able to climb down, acrophobia.

But no shade!
Nice at night, though.
Laz did. And the dog fell for it.
He doesn’t have to worry about getting eaten up there
Wild dog. They are hunted in Egypt. Never saw them in Cairo but mostly in the Western desert.
😂
Mumm—eee!! He’s not playing Phraoh!!
I noticed there is a big hole at the top of the pyramid.
I wonder if it is a big ol chimney...
How many dogs have fallen in over the centuries?...
Anticipated incident armor for when we are old enough to know better but dumb enough to do it anyway.
