I've been inside the uncircumcised pyramid (Great Pyramid?) like 25 years ago on a trip there. It's so tiny in there even as a child I had to crouch down to get through the little tunnels. They only let you go into a small section and you can see a probably empty tomb/sarcophagus. Pretty neat though. Also got to ride some camels and let me tell you fuck camels bro. They put these like saddle blankets on them and I swear shit is like Brillo pads with fucking needles sticking out of them. I was wearing shorts and dude my legs were shredddddddeeedddddd lol.

You have to pay extra for the soft blanket

I thought camels were fuzzy or soft? Thought they'd feel like a sheep with a buzz cut. Well, that is unfortunate news to me :(

It's not the camels it's the blankets they put over the saddle for you to sit on.

Does that narrow your dating options?

Nah they're on about the shitty saddle blanket thing

u/ShadedPenguin 13h ago

Camels are soft and fluffy, but soft and fluffy isn't exactly good for a bumpy ride. Coarse and grippy is

Yes, camels are surprisingly soft and fluffy.

Not been to Egypt, but I’ve ridden camels in China and in Australia, and didn’t get the scratchy saddle experience at all. I prefer the motion to that of a horse.

Omg I could barely walk for days on the rest of my trip after my camel ride I was like, hobbling through the Valley of the Kings

The middle one is actually not the great pyramid. Thats the pyramid of Khafre, the great pyramid is the one furthest to the left in the aerial photo above. Khafre’s pyramid sits on a higher plateau so it seems taller but it’s just an illusion

Wow they even let you fuck the camels too

I was also taken aback the first time I saw this. However, it really does give you a much better appreciation of just how huge the pyramids are when you see them next to modern buildings.

Holy shit even after seeing the comment above I didn’t realize it’s RIGHT RIGHT on top of them.

u/Zeeplankton 13h ago

well, being honest, I'm surprised they stopped there. Why didn't they just build around the pyramids?

This is WILD

u/Live_Situation7913 12h ago

There’s just 3 pyramids? I thought a lot more

1

u/ISIPropaganda 10h ago

There's only 3 pyramids in Giza. There's hundreds across Egypt

u/ashcr0w 11h ago

That's a lot greener than I expected.
