What will the YouTuber find inside the pyramids ? Image Credit: CC BY 2.0 Ricardo Liberato Jimmy Donaldson - more commonly known as 'MrBeast' - is certainly no stranger to madcap shenanigans having arranged all manner of bizarre stunts and challenges for his extremely popular YouTube channel which, as of writing, has over 337 million subscribers.

Speaking recently on the Beyond the Records podcast with Noah Lyles, he revealed that for one of his upcoming videos he will be spending a period of 100 hours hunting for ghosts and spirits within the labyrinthine corridors and chambers of the pyramids of Giza in Egypt.

"We got all three of the pyramids of Egypt for a hundred hours," he said. "I'm going to do a video where they're going to let me explore anywhere I want to in the pyramids for a hundred hours."

The event will see him and his team gain access to areas of the pyramids that are usually closed off to the public (albeit while accompanied by a tour guide) and he will record every second of his time there.

"I'm so excited because there are also all these secret corridors deep inside," he said."I don't know what to expect."

To look for evidence of the paranormal in the pyramids, the team will be equipped with a variety of common ghost-hunting gadgets that they will use throughout their exploration of the structures.

While getting to see every nook and cranny of the inside of the pyramids will certainly be interesting, MrBeast's claims concerning the event have been subject to quite a bit of scrutiny.

According to the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, the YouTuber hadn't "rented out" the pyramids but had in fact only been given permission to film there.

Some people have also raised concerns regarding his use of the pyramids at all.

As for the video itself - while we don't currently know exactly when it will be published, you can expect to see it appearing on his YouTube channel in the near future.
