Danish Photographer Andreas Hvid with his girl friend allegedly atop of Giza Pyramid - screenshot of video

CAIRO – 7 December 2018: The explicit video claimed to be filmed atop of the Great Pyramid of Giza by a Danish photographer has been referred to Egypt’s top prosecutor to investigate its authenticity.



Climbing the Giza Plateau is considered illegal, according to the head of the archaeological site, who ruled out the Danish couple have climbed up the Khufu Pyramid amid existing tight security presence.



The photographer Andreas Hvid posted a porn video on his Youtube channel, showing him and his girl friend climbing to a pyramid top, referring to it as Giza Pyramid in Egypt.



In the video description, Hvid wrote “In late November 2018, a friend and I climbed the Great Pyramid of Giza (a.k.a. Pyramid of Khufu, Pyramid of Cheops). Fearing to be spotted by the many guards, I did not film the several hours of sneaking around at the Giza Plateau, which lead up to the climb.”



The video has been circulate on social media, with some angry comments describing it as tarnishing the historic site.



The director of Pyramids archaeological area Asharf Mohey said he will file a report to the prosecution demanding an official investigation into the explicit video.



Earlier, Mohey made remarks on the video as “fake and unreal,” saying that climbing the pyramid is impossible due to restrictions. He further suspected its authenticity, referring to a “strange” light appeared in the footage that does not resemble the real view of the site that is closed everyday at 5pm.



In 2015, Egypt investigated a 10-minute unlawful footage of pornographic scenes in the area of the Pyramids made by a foreign female tourist.
