Since the beginning of time, we have been proud of our civilization, our
origin, and the fact that we have one of the seven wonders of the world—the
pyramids. Tourists travel from all over the world to see these wonders, which
astonish everyone who sees them. However, there are always secrets and
inventiveness of the ancient Egyptians in the pyramids, as evidenced by a
YouTube video that has amassed over 140 million views. It is posted by James
Stephen Donaldson, also known as Mr. Beast, a well-known and ambitious young
man who enjoys exploration and adventure.
The incredibly spectacular and captivating "I Spent 100 Hours
Inside The Pyramids!" film by MrBeast explores one of the world's most
famous sites. It effectively blends instructive and entertaining components,
making history understandable to a wide range of viewers.

During their 100-hour tour of the Great Pyramids of Giza, MrBeast and
his team were accompanied by Egyptian archaeologist Dr. Zahi Hawass, who
provided historical context. The video shows their journey through narrow
passages, their examination of sarcophagi, and their ascent to the highest
point inside the Great Pyramid. The Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and
Antiquities granted them special permission to enter restricted areas,
including hidden chambers and the tomb of Osiris.

"Any ancient wall with or without inscriptions will be affected
when touched, and with time it will be damaged and the inscriptions will
disappear, and the solution will be restoration to clean these additions when
touched, and thus a layer of the wall's layers will be taken and with time the
ancient wall will disappear," Professor Hossam Zidane, a master's
researcher at Cairo University, said about the episode's prohibition on
touching the walls.

"One of the positives of this video is that there is financial
income for Egypt in exchange for living and filming because the group entered
places that are not permitted to enter except with very special permits,"
noted Bassam El-Shamaa, a tourism expert and lecturer on ancient Egyptian
civilization. However, El-Shamaa asserts that "this video is not without
danger, represented by climbing the pyramids or burying amulets under the
antiquities, which are two things that are completely forbidden."

A worldwide audience can now explore the pyramids thanks to MrBeast's
movie, which may pique curiosity in Egyptian history and culture. The movie
also promotes Egyptian tourism by highlighting the pyramids as a top location
for international media projects and boosting travel. The video is compelling
for a broad audience due to its excellent production quality, adventurous
spirit, and MrBeast's captivating personality.
