Pyramids Tour July 1, 2008

The pyramids were exactly as spectacular as you would expect. However, their location was not how I pictured. In the video, you'll see how the city has sprawled to the edge of the pyramids. I pictured the pyramids being farther away from daily society.

It was 100 pounds (20 dollars) to go into the largest pyramid (Khufu pyramid). This pyramid costs more because it contains the longest inside passageway, the grand gallery and the burial chamber. So there is a lot to see inside, but it is difficult to maneuver. Most people don't take this tour because of the cramped passageways and difficult climbing inside. It is also extremely hot by the time you get to the burial chamber at the top of the passageway. There is no moving air. So when we are being interviewed on the video, I am about to pass out from heat exhaustion.

I'm proud of all the adventurers who climbed inside the pyramid. At first I said "no way" but then I thought, isn't that why you're there? Very cool!
