Tourist explains why ‘special’ pyramids are ‘the worst place on earth’

Tourist explains why ‘special’ pyramids are ‘the worst place on earth’

The Great Pyramid of Giza is one of the seven wonders of the ancient world and attracts millions of tourists each year.

But, despite its prestige, one British visitor was left less than impressed by the 146 meter tall structure.

TikTok user philc84 had dreamed of touring ‘the most special building on the entire planet’ but described his experience as ‘literally hell’.

Taking to the platform to vent his frustration the content creator listed a string of complaints including being ‘force-fed into the lump of stone’, being hassled by scammers, and a ‘lack of decoration’.

Footage shows philc84 arriving at the location alongside swarms of fellow travelers before he enters the crowded Egypt pyramid.

He says: ‘The Great Pyramid is one of the most special and mysterious buildings on the whole planet but for me going inside it is quite literally hell.

‘You’re force-fed into a giant lump of stone with a load of other suckers just trying to tick something off their bucket list.

The scathing review continues: ‘Whether the pyramids were built by aliens, the people of Atlantis, or most likely the Ancient Egyptians I wish they’d come back, tidy up and sort the place out.

‘The whole complex is an absolute nightmare.’

The video then shows the content creator being approached by several salesmen as he complains: ‘You’re hassled by scammers so much that you forget what a special place you’re at.’

Philc84 also describes how he spent two hours politely declining when horse and camel operators ‘aggressively’ tried to convince him to ride their animal.

After leaving the pyramids the TikToker reflected on his experience saying it was the ‘biggest disappointment’ of his life and calling it ‘soul-crushing’.

Philc84’s video has caused a stir online, racking up nearly 120,000 likes and more than 1,000 comments.

Some viewers were shocked by his complaints while others shared similar experiences.

One comment read:, ‘Oh pls say you’re lying. This is my dream,’ while another person said, ‘Such a shame – but these are all the reasons I will never visit’.

A third added: ‘I’m sad to report this is painfully accurate. My whole experience was ruined and I left fuming.’

But, someone else challenged the review saying: ‘Couldn’t disagree more. For me it was a wonderful experience. No hassle nothing, just 2 people in total approached us for a camel ride. That’s it’.

It comes after a ‘groundbreaking’ discovery beneath the Egyptian pyramids took the world by storm.

 Italian researchers claim to have uncovered ‘a vast underground city’ which stretches more than 4,000 feet directly underneath the Pyramids of Giza, making them 10 times larger than the pyramids themselves.

The bombshell claim – which many experts claim to have already debunked – comes from a study that used radar pulses to create high-resolution images deep into the ground beneath the structures, the same way sonar radar is used to map the depths of the ocean.

The paper, which has not been peer-reviewed by independent experts, found eight vertical cylinder-shaped structures extending more than 2,100 feet below the pyramid and more unknown structures 4,000 feet deeper.

A press release described the findings as ‘groundbreaking’ and if true could rewrite the history of ancient Egypt. However, independent experts have raised serious concerns about the study.

Professor Lawrence Conyers, a radar expert at the University of Denver who focuses on archaeology, told DailyMail.com that it is not possible for the technology to penetrate that deeply into the ground, making the idea of an underground city ‘a huge exaggeration.’

Professor Conyers said it is conceivable there are small structures, such as shafts and chambers, beneath the pyramids that existed before they were built because the site was ‘special to ancient people.’

He highlighted how ‘the Mayans and other people in ancient Mesoamerica often built pyramids on top of the entrances of caves or caverns that had ceremonial meaning to them.’
