Footage of dog at the top of 455ft Pyramid of Giza is leaving people baffled (www.unilad.com)

Alex Lang was flying his motored paraglider around the Great Pyramid in Egypt when he saw something odd in the distance.

Intrigued, the adventurer moved in for a closer look.

When he was finally able to make out the mysterious figure, it was the last thing he was expecting- a dog that had somehow made its way to the apex of the 455ft structure to bark at 'birds’.

Viewers were impressed by the dog but were all left with the same question after watching the video: how did it get up there?

...

However, while some might like to follow in the footsteps of the dog, humans are banned from climbing to the top. Offenders could face up to three years in prison, and in 2016, a teenager was banned from visiting Egypt again after making the ascent.

Kind of wish we knew whether the dog is okay

They flew over the following day and the dog had gone, so he presumably got bored and wandered off.

Phew, that’s good news. If it was in the article I didn’t see it.

It's made some news clips on social media - the second fly over and one I just found of the dog bounding down the side of the pyramid (he's done that before).
