"Schmaltz demonstrated that the modern deck of cards could be taken as a symbol of the Egyptian year incorporated in the Great Pyramid. According to Schmaltz the 52 cards represent the weeks, the 12 face cards the months, the 13 cards in a suit the lunations, the suits the seasons, the total face value of the cards (counting Jack 11, Queen 12, King 13) 364 days, plus Joker as the magic 1.234, total of 365.234 days."
