Egypt’s Ministry of Antiquities issued a statement to respond to the spread of a recent pornographic video filmed by a foreign photographer, accompanied by his girlfriend, atop the Great Pyramid of Giza after the couple climbed it. The Ministry filed a memorandum on the incident with the top prosecutor’s office, to investigate the matter, the statement added. The privately-owned paper described the video as depicting nudity and sex acts by Russian-speaking tourists, near the 4,500 year-old Giza pyramids and the Sphinx. Reuters was unable to confirm the contents of the video. The earlier clip prompted a strong social media backlash, from across the relatively conservative Muslim country.
