Man jailed for climbing Pyramids of Giza Posted on 22 January 2020 Vitaly Zdorovetskiy spent five days in an Egyptian jail after climbing the Pyramids of Giza to get the perfect photo for social media. He seemingly had no remorse for his actions and justified them by saying he ‘did it for a good cause’. View this post on Instagram No words can explain what I just went through the past 5 days. I was locked up in Egypt because I climbed the Pyramids Of Giza. I’ve been in Jail many times but this one was by far the very worst. I saw horrible things and I don’t wish this upon anybody. Was it worth it? FUCK YEAH! I did it for a good cause and soon I’m going to share the whole video so the whole world can see 🔥 A post shared by Vitaly (@kingvitaly) on Jan 14, 2020 at 10:59am PST In writing about his experience of going to jail, Zdorovetskiy said: ‘I’ve been in jail many times but this one was by far the very worst. I saw horrible things and I don’t wish this upon anybody’. In a video he shared after the post, Zdorovetskiy shared a video calling for viewers to ‘stop the war’ and to donate to the Australian bushfires. View this post on Instagram I did this for a good cause and it put me 5 nights in Egyptian jail. Even though I’ve been in jail around the world many times for my previous stunts, this one has been the most horrible experience of my life. Let’s unite and donate for Australia.I hope the world will hear me! A post shared by Vitaly (@kingvitaly) on Jan 16, 2020 at 2:08pm PST In the video, he says: ‘Egypt, I love you. No disrespect to you. I just want to bring awareness to the world… millions of animals are lost, millions of people are hurting.’ This is not the first time an Instagram user with millions of followers has pulled a ridiculous stunt to draw attention to an on-going disaster. A woman sold nude photographs of herself for $10 donations toward the Australian bushfires and raised over $1-million. However her fundraising effort, unlike Zdorovetskiy’s, did not cause harm to one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
