It could be the Mathematical equivalent of inversion. 666 would be 999 or 666 NOT

Negation. Ancient Greeks used it in Math, old Boolean algebra.
It could be a message.

Re: What's that little line drawn over 666 in Greek Bible manuscripts ?
OP, I'm going to go ahead and leave this thread now. Your basic premise has been blown to shreds. If you choose to go flat earther and still believe in your own delusion notion that only sacred names were abbreviated with an overbar, I don't know what to do for you. Flat earthers won't believe the earth rotates either although every shred of evidence proves it.

So...enjoy.
 Quoting: anastasis888


well, yer an arrogant flake who thinks the ancients thought the earth was flat and nothing is further from the truth

try starting with the work of somebody like Otto Neugebauer and then work your way into more difficult authors like Joran Friberg
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27255788


I think you missed my point.

That's not surprising, though.

Enjoy your stupid, ignorant thread.

Let's go a little deeper now that we've shed the imbecile

Numbers like 666 are called " figurate numbers " in mathematics and they've been used for thousand of years to teach basic geometric principles

Most of the knowitalls here would spend 10 seconds on google and come back and claim the Greeks invented this, which of course is not true at all

This convention of mathematics is discussed in the Egyptian Rhind mathematical papyrus, which in turn states in the colophon that it was copied from an ancient copy



anybody get that pre-biblical divinity notation yet ?

Re: What's that little line drawn over 666 in Greek Bible manuscripts ?
I'll give you a hint:

The first known person to claim to be a god in Mesopotamia is the first person who's name is signified in literature with notation for divinity

In turn this same person standardized all measurements in Mesopotamia for several thousand years

Basic Bible history here
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27255788


The person would be Naram-Sin, grandson of the founder of the Akkadian empire

He's the first known person, by our records, to have claimed to have been a god on earth

Also the first to use the title " king of the four regions "

The notation is the Akkadian cognate to the semtic " El ", it's called the " dingir "

You may know this as " An " ( like anu, Annuna , annuna-ki )

so that's the answer, it's just a generic word for a god

but this notation is far older than Naram-sin's use

It's the Sumerian pre-cuneiform ideogram for a star

So there you have it

The origin of the titlo is the Sumerian ideogram of a star

Now you know why the Bible uses the phrasing like " star in the pit "

Re: What's that little line drawn over 666 in Greek Bible manuscripts ?
To clarify a bit:

Priest-kings, when they were deified ( gods on earth ) like Naram-Sin, had their names written with the notation of the " dingir " ( An )( same thing as the titlo over 666, it signifies divinity )

However, in cuneiform this is not read out loud, it's like a trademark symbol(tm), so silent ( like the titlo over 666 )

this is known as a " determinant " in cuneiform languages

Now that you've shed the dolt, you're on to cunneiform?

I'm sure that will help you understand 3rd century CE Christian papyri from Alexandrian scribes writing numerical shorthand.

Somewhere in here you should try to work in space aliens and something from Enoch.

Re: What's that little line drawn over 666 in Greek Bible manuscripts ?
Now, in researching the semiosis ( meaning ) of pre-cuneiform ideograms, you'll find another " star ", and this is the classic 5 pointed star

In the earliest written records, ( Uruk, circa 4,000 BC ) this 5 pointed star refers to the " four regions ", known as " ub-da limmu "

" Ub ", meaning corner, recess

this is then used in the title Naram-sin first claimed as

" King of the Four Corners of the World "

[link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)]

( referring to being king of all one could see )


this ideogram of the 5 pointed star was later used as the old city seal for Jerusalem

Genesis 11

1Now the whole earth used the same language and the same words.

2It came about as they journeyed east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.

6The LORD said, "Behold, they are one people, and they all have the same language. And this is what they began to do, and now nothing which they purpose to do will be impossible for them.

7"Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, so that they will not understand one another's speech."

8So the LORD scattered them abroad from there over the face of the whole earth; and they stopped building the city.

9Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of the whole earth; and from there the LORD scattered them abroad over the face of the whole earth.

here

the modern Jewish month average :


29 + 1/2 + 40/(24 × 60) + 73/(1080 × 24) days

= 29 + 1/2 + 40/1440 + 73/25920 days

= 29 + 13753/25920 days




is equal to the average as predicted( not calculated by observation, cough ) by the Babylonians with the use of the Zig Zag function

29 + 31/60 + 50/(60 × 60) + 8/(60 × 60 × 60) + 20/(60 × 60 × 60 × 60) days

= 29 + 31/60 + 50/3600 + 8/216000 + 20/12960000 days

= 29 + 13753/25920 days

would help if you clarify " the whole world " just refers to that region instead of the actual whole world

It's simply untrue that the whole world wrote in cuneiform at any period in earth's history, nor is it true the whole world used the same script to write with at any time
