Overview
- Emergency teams reached the woman about 80 meters below the surface through a passage roughly one meter wide and one meter high set at a 26-degree incline.
- Two paramedics, identified by Egypt’s Ambulance Organization as Ahmed Ali Hamouda and Ali Hassan Abdel Majeed, immobilized her fractured foot with a rigid board and belt before securing her to a stretcher.
- Rescuers, sometimes crawling, carried her through the narrow ramps in an operation that lasted about an hour, then transferred her to an ambulance for further care.
- The fall occurred on a wooden ramp inside the Bent Pyramid at Dahshur, about 40 kilometers south of Cairo, and the woman was accompanied by her husband.
- The incident has revived public questions over permitting entry to confined interior spaces of the monument, though authorities have not announced policy changes.
