In Numerology every number has a particular meaning. These meanings have been adopted from the Egyptian pyramids. On the pyramids in Egypt, there is a picture of the number 13, named 'LA MUERTE' which symbolizes 'Death'. In the picture there is a skeleton with scythe (death) reaping down men, and a crowned head of a man fallen at the point of the scythe. At its back, is a female head with flowing hair parted in the centre. This is a symbol of the conception of realization of hope, faith and rebirth. Thus the symbol and the 13 number of stripes in the flag of USA according to numerology may indicate that the skeleton with scythe signifies that man has to multiply his efforts during this period and if he tends to be lethargic, then his failure is certain. But if he faces the adversities with confidence and courage then his success is 100% sure.
