Members of parliament have complained about the 9.5 million dollar cost of the concert by French multi-media artist Jean-Michel Jarre, especially given that only 18,000 tickets have been sold out of the 50,000 on offer. But Hosni told reporters at the pyramids that all 7,500 top class tickets have been sold at 400 dollars each and assured that worldwide television coverage of the event would secure Egypt invaluable promotion time. He also countered charges that the Egyptian government is imposing Masonic symbolism on the pyramids by planning to lower a golden capstone on the largest of the three Giza pyramids during the festival. Hosni said the Egyptian pyramids could not be compared to the masonic symbol because their dimensions are different, the masonic symbol having a shorter base than height. The Islamist newspaper Al-Shaab has run a campaign against Hosni and Jarre, accusing them of conspiring to impose "Zionist freemasonry" on Egyptian civilization with the luminous capstone which the paper likened to a Jewish skullcap. The minister added that plans to place the capstone frame on the Cheops pyramid could be changed, responding to fears it may damage the monument. The original plan was for a light-emitting golden pyramid to be lowered by helicopter, in what is said to be a replication of the practices of the ancient Egyptians who crowned their pyramids with a golden capstone to celebrate their completion. Hosni said 80 percent of preparations for the stage and concert facilities have now been completed and that a cabinet millennium committee had been formed to ensure the event runs smoothly. The culture minister was forced to defend the show in parliament on Monday after MPs criticised it for faults ranging from its cost to its perceived disharmony with the Islamic fasting month of Ramadan which lasts until the first week in January. The Frenchman's concert, entitled "The Twelve Dreams of the Sun," is Egypt's only official millennial celebration near the pyramids and is due to last from sundown December 31 until dawn January 1.
