The recently surfaced footage giving a rare glimpse inside the Egyptian pyramids has caused discomfort among viewers.
Social media users are describing the video as "claustrophobic," highlighting the tight and confined spaces within the ancient structures.
The video, posted on TikTok by user @youneszarou, offers a unique perspective on the interior of these ancient structures.
These remarkable structures, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the Seven Wonders of the World, transport visitors back in time to the era of the pharaohs.
Although the outside of the pyramids is famous for its magnificence, the insides are still unknown to most people.
Due to the historical significance and preservation efforts, the pyramids were once sealed off to prevent unauthorized entry.
Therefore, videos showcasing the inside of the pyramids have gained viral attention, capturing the curiosity of people worldwide.
The user @youneszarou takes viewers on a journey through the narrow passageways and intricate chambers within the pyramids.
The video shows a complex system of tunnels inside the pyramids, leading to different rooms and creating a maze-like experience.
The tight and narrow passages within the pyramids are clearly visible as the person in the video moves through them.
People watching the footage online are amazed and find it hard to believe how small the spaces are, with some feeling uncomfortable and uneasy due to the confined environment, even just by watching the video.
Others have expressed feelings of breathlessness and panic while observing the confined environment captured in the video.
I’ve been inside most of them but it is not easy. Very cramped, hot, and stuffy. And the angles of the shafts can be very steep, imagine climbing a ladder at 45 degrees while doubled over because the ceiling of the passage is only 4 feet high, one user shared their experiences.
And this is why they disappear without a trace because they like to climb into the unknown, the second user said.
I've been inside the great pyramid. You have to crouch to get up the passage. Once you're inside, you have to climb down a small ladder and back up a ladder at the opposite end. The air inside is VERY thin, very hot. Slight difficult to breathe. I spent only a few minutes inside, decided I had seen/experienced enough and left because I started feeling uneasy, another wrote.
When I was young, I tried to enter with my teacher and classmates, but it was narrow and people went up and others left And everyone was bent over. The kids panicked and we left immediately, someone commented.
The lack of sufficient lighting inside the pyramids enhances the feeling of being in an ancient place and adds to the sense of being confined.
Even though the pyramids are old, scientists and researchers are still using advanced technology and making ongoing efforts to uncover the secrets hidden within these massive structures.
In recent years, archaeological experts, employing cutting-edge techniques such as scanners and infrared thermography, have made significant discoveries within the pyramids.
For instance, a hidden passageway measuring nine meters in length was uncovered within the Egyptian Pyramid of Khufu.
