Today, climbing onto the top of one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World is strictly prohibited. However, a group of Russian photographers successfully sneak-out and took photos from the top of pyramid. Vitaliy Raskalov, Vadim Mahorov and Marat Dupri are Russian Daredevils. They knew the risk of what they were doing, but somehow did it for the sake of sharing the rarely-seen view of the Oldest of the Seven Wonders.
According to them, their action plan was initiated at the famous Giza Necropolis. They had waited for the visiting hours to be over, while observing the guard’s routine for them sneak-out. As the sun began to set, they escaped the guard’s attention giving a chance to Vitaliy Raskalov to snap photographs from the top view of the majestic Sphinx and the surrounding areas.
