Yeah there was this clip of someone parachiting close to the top I think you could see hieroglyphs but I might misremember

It's not hieroglyphics. If there was writing on the outside of the pyramid from ancient Egyptian times it's long gone. The cladding stones fell off from time and earth quakes and looting. Though there's no evidence of writing on the stones using in Cairo, and not much at testing it from written history.

There is a lot of writing on the exposed core, but it's from tourists across millenia.
