The photo was shared on social network Reddit over the weekend. According to Cnet, the earliest photo was posted on Saturday (August 14) when Facebook account Ahmed Basyouney shared it.
This account has not yet responded to the person who took this photo.
Cnet said that the photo still caused a stir on social media when the character in the photo was very similar to Steve Jobs, even the character in the photo had hair that looked very similar to the late American technology tycoon.
The man in the photo is not wearing shoes and Steve Jobs is also known to like to walk barefoot while thinking.
However, the photo was enough to make fans stir. "Oh my god, Steve Jobs didn't wear an Apple Watch," a Reddit user wrote. "This man is too much like Steve Jobs," one user exclaimed.
Even according to the NZ Herald, the photo taken in Egypt has sparked various plot theories, with one user pointing out that the place is not far away because Steve Jobs' hometown is Syria.
Another social media user said: "I don't like plot theories, but jobs would be crazy enough to actually do it."
Steve Jobs passed away in 2011 after a battle with pancreatic cancer. He has been publicly licensed since 2004.
The NZ Herald reported that this is not the first time that photos have appeared, sparking a plot theory that the technology legend is alive and well. Some similar theories appeared in 2014 from a photo on a Reddit account of a man in Rio de Janeiro that had similarities to the co-founder of Apple.
