On Friday, November 11, 2011, the inside of the pyramid of Pharaoh Khufu was closed for maintenance. It was closed because of rumors of unauthorized rituals being held that day. The only pyramid that was closed was the one of Pharaoh Khufu, the rest of the nearby pyramids and the sphinx remained opened. Also security was increased at the Giza complex. There was no unusual activity during Friday and the director of the complex and the head of the Supreme Council of Antiques decided that the rumors of the planned ceremonies had no truth. Pharaoh Khufu's pyramid is the last standing seven wonders of the ancient world and it is the largest in the complex. It was also the tallest building in the world until the French built the Eiffel tower.Source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-15698892
