Did you ever think that there is more in numbers? You were right! The ancient Hebrews believed through traditions that certain numbers corresponded with their alphabet. They started to put interpreting names in practice. The old Egyptians believed in the power of numbers and attached great importance to numbers and used it for their prophesies. Greek philosophers thought that numbers independent from their mathematical laws had their own powers. Pythagoras, the Greek philosopher and mathematician, believed that 'numbers are the principles of everything in nature'.
