Bektaşoğlu, famously known as Köksal Baba, visited the Pyramids of Giza, where he took several memorable photos next to the pyramids and even enjoyed a horse-drawn carriage ride.
Köksal Baba’s real name is Bektaşoğlu, a Turkish blogger born in 1975, making him 46 years old. He hails from Trabzon, a city on Turkey’s northern coast.
Born with a rare genetic disorder affecting growth, Köksal had a deep passion for boxing and won the Turkish Junior Boxing Championship for three consecutive years. However, he retired from the sport in 2010.
His rise to fame began in 2016, when a video of him confronting a much larger man in the street went viral, amassing over 6 million views and making him an internet sensation.
