The first historical time where 13 appears as unluncky is at Alexander's
death in Macedonia after he comes back from India.He wants to be considered
as A god and made a 13th statue on the place of his capital ( Only 12 gods
exist before, one by month). He died and people considered that his will to
be a 13th god was the reason of his death. After that this number was
considered as unlucky. And it's that reason which makes that Judas was the
13th guest at Jesus last meal with the Apostles.
