Video capturing rare look inside Egypt pyramids has people feeling uncomfortable

A TikToker's video of what pyramids are like inside has everyone saying the same thing.

We've all seen what pyramids look like from the outside. Okay, probably not in person, but studying history in school, we definitely saw enough pictures of the structures and heard all the stories about how they were built.

But now try and picture the inside of a pyramid? Well, you don't have to, because a TikToker has since revealed just what it's like to go inside one of the UNESCO Heritage Sites and Seven Wonders of the World - and it'll probably surprise you.

A TikToker called Younes Zarou took to his social media to share a video of them entering one of the ancient pyramids.

The video - shared by @youneszarou - shows the content creator entering the large structure and finding that, well, despite it's vast size from the outside, it's not quite the same once you go inside.

And if you are claustrophobic, then this is probably not going to be for you.

It may not look like there is any way inside the pyramid, however, the video shows how it is riddled with tunnels, chambers and side passages.

Many of these branch off to other rooms, leading to the ultimate maze experience.

The man can be seen just about squeezing through extremely tight passageways, and many folks online can't quite believe how cramped the pyramids really are.

“My claustrophobia could never,” one user penned, while another wrote: "I can't breathe watching this."

A third commented: "Claustrophobia left the chat."

And someone else added: "I'm panicking just watching."

Of course, when the pyramids were built, there was no such thing as health and safety.

Add modern lighting on top of that, and you've got a pretty ancient monument.

Despite the pyramids being thousands of years old, scientists are still finding out so much about them.

Just last year, experts located a nine-meter hidden passageway inside the Egyptian Pyramid of Khufu.

The Egyptian tourism and antiquities minister announced this amazing discovery in March 2023, providing answers to those looking into the matter.

The group Scan Pyramid are part of a mission to see the inside of pyramids by using technology such as scanners and infrared thermography.

They do not know currently what the passageway is for just yet, but the findings have provided some clues.

According to Mostafa Waziri, the Head of the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities, the ceiling of the tunnel indicates it was built to relieve the weight of the pyramid.

"But a big question mark hangs over whether this corridor was created to relieve the weight on the [main] entrance or lighten the load on a space yet to be discovered," he said.

"Scanning work will continue to uncover more secrets.”
