MrBeast’s Great Pyramid Adventure: Fact or Fiction?

February 10, 2025

In a recent adventure, YouTube star MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, claimed to have spent 100 hours exploring Egypt's Great Pyramids of Giza. He reported accessing hidden tombs and areas typically off-limits to the public, accompanied by Egyptologist Dr. Zahi Hawass. This exclusive exploration was said to include attempts to uncover treasures within the Sphinx.

However, Egypt's Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities refuted these claims. In an official statement, the ministry clarified that MrBeast did not rent or have unrestricted access to the Pyramids. Instead, he was granted a standard permit to film outside of official working hours, and the entire filming process lasted only about an hour. The ministry emphasized that the Pyramids remained open to visitors during official hours and that all necessary legal and security measures were followed during the filming.

This incident highlights the importance of verifying information, especially regarding cultural heritage sites. While MrBeast's content often features extraordinary adventures, it's crucial to approach such claims with a critical eye and rely on official sources for accurate information.
