![Khafre Pyramid [Egypt 2019]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/sDpqlb3jL-U/mqdefault.jpg "Khafre Pyramid [Egypt 2019]
Egypt - Monday June 17th, 2019 [Day 13]
Video starts with the supposed lightening strike visit proceeding the Sphinx Temple ... then picks back up during our rogue adventure, where we were leaving the Menkaure pyramid.
It made more sense to keep the Kahfre footage together for the stand alone videos, then put the footage chronological for the full/supercut edit.
All sides of the pyramid, crawling into a rock cut chamber, a quarry, and inside the accessible chamber.

![Animal Costume - Slideshow [Halloween 2013]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/tOhbUJ9NiiI/mqdefault.jpg "Animal Costume - Slideshow [Halloween 2013]
After my success with Edward Scissorhands in 2010, followed by my less than stellar attempt at Bender in 2011 and then a disaster of a Skeletal Scarecrow in 2012 ... I started to catch my stride.
The head is uncomfortable because of the cardboard mouth, but I think I can modify that. I still have an occasionally wear this costume.
