Egyptian pyramids closed on Magic Friday

The Great Pyramids of Giza in Egypt were closed on 11/11/11 to avoid various rituals. Many fans of numerology have been eagerly expecting this day to come. According to them, some unusual events are to take place on November 11, 2011 at 11:11.

Some groups of numerology fans intended to celebrate the combination of 11 hours 11 minutes 11 seconds on November 2011 inside one of the Egyptian pyramids. The information about that was received from the Internet, Vesti.Ru reports.

Egypt became concerned about the intention to conduct the rituals on the Day of Shaitan, as it became known in the country. Officials with the Department of Pharaonic Archeology stated that the pyramids would be closed to avoid any celebrations. The pyramids will be opened for tourists again on November 12.

In numerology, the number 11 is a symbol of danger and conflict, Pravda.Ru says. In some mystical philosophical movements, this number is associated with paranormal activities and powers. It is believed that the day of the magic combination may open a channel of communication with subconsciousness and unveil other mysterious forces and phenomena.

Of course, US and British business people decided not to miss their chance of making profit from the Magic Friday. On this special day, they offer their goods and services at "magic prices" consisting of digits 1 only.

Red Roofs Inn, a hotel, chain, offers an 11-percent discount on 11/11/11. Reefs Southampton on the Bermudas offers its rooms for $11.11, whereas the usual price makes up $410, News.am said.
