Fake video?
Meanwhile, official claims video is fake as pyramid has heavy-security
However, Ashraf Mohi, Director General of the Giza Plateau, claimed that the video is fake as there's heavy security at the pyramids from 5 pm, when the area closes. He also said the area around the pyramids is too brightly lit in the video, but the area is actually quite dark during night time. The video has now been deleted from Andreas' YouTube account.
