VIDEO: Youtuber MrBeast Spends 100 Hours Inside Egypt’s Pyramids

YouTube superstar Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast, spent 100 hours inside the Great Pyramids of Egypt in his latest video after receiving an unconditional three-day filming and exploration permit from the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities.

In what has become the number one trending video on YouTube with 78 million views and counting in its first two days, MrBeast got the extremely rare opportunity to explore the inner pathways of the pyramids in Egypt in cooperation with the Ministry. Donaldson was accompanied by Egyptian archaeologist Dr. Hawass, who gave a historical deep dive into the construction of the pyramids and their many secrets.

Mr. Beast squeezed through the narrow tunnels winding through this ancient wonder of the world, a stark contrast to his usual approach of renting out locations for extravagant sums.

“The YouTuber did not rent the area but obtained a permit to film outside official working hours,” said the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities. Later, Dr. Hawass shed some light on what exactly allowed MrBeast to do what very few have ever been allowed to do in history, saying “He [MrBeast] obtained an unconditional permit to enter the three pyramids and explore them.”
