Yeah manly lol i have  a rare mint condition hardcover version of the book its amazing

 My friend has that book, but sadly he's fundamentalist Christian, so needless to say, it just sits on his shelf as a show piece, and naturally he's convinced that it's Satanic and this and that. I wish he'd just give it to me, but I'm sure he knows I'd read it openly, with discernment of course, but certainly openly.

INteresting thread. I'm into the esoteric. There is ALOT of symbology in Amiga land.. especially from Chris H of poseidon fame. His name is Platon, you have Deneb, Helios, etc. There is a lot of this in games too like Archon for example.

If you guys are really interested in this subject I highly recommend somehow getting a copy of Manfred P Hall's THE SECRET TEACHINGS OF ALL AGES.

I dont give a lot of weight to Jewish mysticism and Quabbalah in particular but i'm interested in the number systems and matrices

Oh yeah, I know--and I recognized Deneb and Helios when I saw them.

(btw, back when I did play computer games, I loved Archon II--the one with the wraith and juggernaut :biglaugh: )

I'll have to remember to keep an eye out for that book, when I'm in the shopping mood.

I'm with ya on that last point, too.

The Greeks?! Now this story I have to hear. All I have ever seen was evidence of the Greeks borrowing ideas (sometimes sloppily) from everyone around them, especially the Indians and Egyptians. I love running into conflicting ideas in history!!!

Yes, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_numerals

There was a lot of borrowing in all directions in the ancient world. The Greek alphabet is derived from the Phoenician (as is the Hebrew one), which in turn was derived from Hieroglyphs. The Greeks got a lot of ideas from Babylon, for instance the four elements and astrological signs, but Babylonians wrote their numbers in base 60 so they didn't get numerals from them, but it is why there are 60 minutes in an hour &c.
