Hvid, who bills himself as an “urban explorer," according to Sky News, also shared still images of the risqué scene to various social media accounts. As of press time, both the original video and photos of the “nude art” appear to have been deleted online, as per the Daily Record.
Meanwhile, local reports indicate that Minister of Antiquities Khaled al-Anani has been briefed on the reported incident, and the official sent the case “as a violation of public morality” on to the prosecutor general for investigation, Fox 61 reports.
