The video was taken down from social media but later re-shared on Andreas’ YouTube channel. It now has over 8.4 lakh views.
“In late November 2018, a friend and I climbed the Great Pyramid of Giza (a.k.a. Pyramid of Khufu, Pyramid of Cheops). Fearing to be spotted by the many guards, I did not film the several hours of sneaking around at the Giza Plateau, which lead up to the climb.” Andreas wrote in the YouTube description box.
The picture soon resulted in a major backlash on social media.
One user wrote, “In my opinion, the nude stuff is very disrespectful and ignorant.”
On behalf of historians and archaeologists everywhere, I hope you both end up in jail,” wrote another user.
