Any movie that depicts the pyramids of Giza as being in the middle of pristine deep desert is kind of funny. I mean, when you look up pictures online they are always angled to give the impression. It adds mystique to think the pyramids are at least a little difficult to reach. The reality is that the city goes basically right up to them. You can take a taxi from the city and get within American walking distance.
The pyramids are of course flooded with tourists, so any daring adventurer would in reality have to push their way past a family of six from Iowa to get to the hidden chamber of the pyramid.
Thank you for posting this. Reminds of pictures taken from a fast-food chain (don't remember which one) where you can see the pyramids through the window
Adventure!
This picture pisses me off Everytime I see it because they didn't line up the Pizza Hut logo to give the pyramid a hat.
