The great pyramid climbers

When did it start and who was the first person to climb the great pyramid of Giza?

"Hefnawi Abdulnabi", was associated with the name of the Great Pyramid,
And continued climbing daily for half a century, worked for a period in the Antiquities Authority, and then a guide to the pyramids.
After attempts, Hefnaoui managed to climb the pyramid up to the summit in a record time of "6 minutes",in 1951.
His fame became known and the officials asked him to accompany the guests of Egypt who wanted to climb the summit of Khufu pyramid.
The first official to step up with him was "Bevin," the former foreign minister of England. After the revolution,
He was named by Mohammed Najib the first presedent of Egypt as the hero of the heroes. The title continued to be followed by everyone. Tourists called him a champ.
And accompanied him on his visit to the pyramid.

Here you can see a video of the first rare attempt for climbing the pyramid in 1951

first pyramid climber

Egypt issued a law in the late 1990s prohibiting the climbing of the pyramids, whether for Egyptians or foreigners,
to preserve the stones of the impact and not to tamper with it and break it to take memorial pieces,
as was the case in some cases, as well as in the interest of saving life,
which introduces offenders to imprisonment for a period of up to three years.
