Boy down! Moment Dog casually descends 480ft Giza Pyramid after paraglider spots dog barking at birds atop ancient monument

This is the astonishing moment a dog that made headlines this week when it was spotted loitering near the top of the Great Pyramid of Giza was spotted carelessly descending the monument.

One clip shows the pup running up the side of the pyramid, which stands 481 feet tall, as he casually navigates between the large chunks of limestone.

The incredible moment was filmed on Wednesday by tour guide Lauren Rathvon, who shared the footage online.

“I saw this dog walking down the Great Pyramid of Giza like it was nothing!” she said.

“It’s just a hop, skip and a jump for them.”

It comes after breathtaking footage captured on Monday showed paraglider Alex Lang soaring above the Great Pyramid when he noticed movement at its summit.

Zooming in on the small flat space at the top of the brick structure, onlookers were stunned to see that it was a stray dog.

Following the surprising discovery atop the ancient monument, Lang said the dog was barking at birds flying overhead when he spotted the animal.

It’s not clear how the little dog managed to reach the top of the giant pyramid, or how long he stayed there.

This Egyptian monument was built over 4,500 years ago and is a top global tourist attraction, designated as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

Today, the Great Pyramid is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, protected and preserved through ongoing restoration efforts.

Climbing the Great Pyramid of Giza, or any of Egypt’s 118 pyramids, is illegal.

For a chance to see what’s atop the monument, many tourists often take paragliding tours of the structures, but they don’t often spot dogs up there.
