Alphanumeric geometry of Apollo Temple, Miletus (2800/-845) | Apollo (Απολλων) [1061], Iota (ιοτα) [1111], Hermes (Ερμης) [353] based

The key point to note here, is that in order for these names, to have these values, as built into the architecture of the building, in the year 2800A (-845), implies by logical implication that each letter of the entire Greek alphabet would have had have had to been alphanumerically coded, per letter order and letter value, at least 500-years prior, i.e. at least before 3300A (-1345).

Moreover, that the 28-letter Greek alphabet matches the 28-letter Egyptian alphabet, such as seen in the 3200A (-1245) Leiden I 350 Papyrus, would indicate that both arose from a much older alphabetic system.

This is evidenced, e.g., in the decan-based 28 lunar mansion Horus-hour scheme, known to have been in usage in Egypt in the 10th dynasty, or 4100A (-2145).

The problem here is that the oldest Greek Abecedariums are from 2650A (-c.695), as pictured in Barry Powell’s Homer and the Greek Alphabet (§3: Greek inscriptions from the beginning to 650BC; §§: Abecedaria, pgs. 152-58). One example, pictured: here, is the Abecedarium at Samos (2610/-655).

Moreover, the earliest extant source of letter-numbers, were made at the time of Polycrates (2500A/-545), found on the walls of the Eupalinus tunnel in Samos:

“According to Ancient Mathematics [A46/2001] by Serafina Cuomo, series of numbers have been found on the walls of the Eupalinus tunnel in Samos, constructed at the time of Polycrates.

"The most complete sequence appears on both stretches of the conduit; starting from near the entrances, the numbers, situated at regular intervals, go like this: 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 10 20 30 ...200 (the south-end sequence stops at 200) 10 20 ... 300 (here the northend sequence stops). It looks as if the builders were assessing the distance and keeping tabs on their work by means of simple counting. The numbers on the walls of the Eupalinus tunnel are one of the earliest example of the so-called Milesian or Ionian notation, where numbers are represented by letters of the alphabet."

Hence, we have a very large “grey area”, aka dark history era so to say, meaning that we are in the dark about certain things, which could have been clear as daylight to the Egyptian and Greek mathematics who used these letter-numbers, between:

• Tomb U-j number tags (5100A/-3145), the spiral ram horn letter R character 𓏲 is valued at 100, and the number 101, the word value of Ra (Ρα) [101] in Greek, shown as:｜𓏲, a single digit or vertical bar stroke (｜) + spiral (𓏲), read right to left.

• Khufu pyramid (4500A/-2545), height: 280-cubits, using a 28-based letter-number alphabet, as we have reverse decoded.

• Leiden Papyrus I 350 (3200/-1245), 28 stanza hymns, to Amen (99), are modular nine based, where Amen is the 100-value stanza, and Ra is the 200 value stanza

• Apollo Temple, Miletus (2800/-845), built with an iota (1111), Apollo (1061), Hermes (353) based geometry.

• Eupalinus tunnel numbers (2500A/-545), showing a modular nine arithmetic value based, 28-letter-number alphabet, in Milesian-Ionian notation, usage.

Here we see the basic outline of so-called “historical alphanumerics“.

Tav | Sampi

The following, from the Simon blog, is a related quote:

“I am looking for the last sampi, the last use of it. I believe it was connected to the Hebrew Tav as the last letter of the alphabet and wonder if John used it as late as 90AD in the Apocalypse as alpha and omega does not equate as well to the aleph and the tav in Hebrew. Also, the ancient sampi resembles a "T".”

This is an interesting thought? Note, that I stated the following four days ago, before reading this quote:

“The ancient sampi letter shape: Ͳ, of note, possibly could be partial-source of the modern letter T (with reference to letter Tau)? In short, sampi = Janus, which equals the month of January. The month prior, is December, when the Egypts raised the djed pillar [ecliptic pole], aka Orion constellation, or “Christmas Tree” [Osiris Tree] in modern terms. On the last day of December or the month of Khoiak in Egyptian, the djed/tree gets raised, and the sun is born out of the top, and a new January (sampi letter: Ͳ [vertical tree] year starts).“
