This stunning footage shows a paramotor pilot gliding over beautiful ancient Egyptian architecture - including the Pyramids and the Sphinx. <br /><br />Yanis Terzis, 35, captured some incredible once in a lifetime videos when he travelled to Cario and Luxor in Egypt for a paramotor event. <br /><br />A paramotor is essentially a regular paraglide set up, fitted with a huge fan that helps propel the rider and keep them airborne. <br /><br />Yanis used his trusty GoPro Hero 10 attached to his helmet to film himself soaring over The Pyramids and Sphinx in Cairo, and the Luxor temple in Luxor. <br /><br />During the flight over the Pyramids Yanis even got close enough to the top to TOUCH the World Wonder. <br /><br />Yanis, a psychiatric administrator, from Campinas, Brazil, said: "Most of the paramotor pilots fly high for safety precautions.<br /><br />"Sometimes I like to get a little bit risky on my flights and go close to the ground and over the building to get amazing shots and videos. <br /><br />“This was what happened with the Pyramids and temple flight, amazing footages that has been shared in YouTube with more than 7 million views. <br /><br />“We all had the permissions to fly over the pyramids and temples during the event, so no laws were broken.<br /><br />“My intention was to get some of the most amazing footage from a different angle over the pyramids and temples.<br /><br />“On the pyramid flight, I had the intention of touch my foot tip over the pyramids. That was something unique that I’m going to remember for the rest of my life. <br /><br />“I think many people didn't know what the pyramids are like on the top, and many people comment about the scriptures and graffiti up there. <br /><br />"Also, the incredible view in 4k give another perspective, and you can see all the details from the monuments.”
