Greek alphabet

The 24-letters of the modern Greek alphabet.[1]

In alphabets, Greek alphabet refers to the 27-letter alphabet developed by the Greeks in 1000BC, largely derived from or based on Egyptian cosmology.

Overview

The following is the original 27-letter Greek alphabet, three letters of which, namely digamma, koppa (replaced by kappa), and sammi, shown highlighted, have atrophied or morphed, yielding an active 24-letter Greek alphabet; the table shows the NE-value of the word of the letter, rendered as a god, if available, along with the English sound translation, and the modern Roman or active English alphabet[2] equivalent of the letter.

Sum

The sum of the 24-letter version equals 888 as follows:

${\displaystyle 1\times 8+10\times 8+100\times 8=888}$

In other words, the 27-letter version was reduced to a 24-letter version, having 8 single digit numbers, 8 ten digit numbers, and 8 hundred digit numbers, so to have symbolic connection to the magic number "888", from the solar magic square and from music theory.

Vowels

The seven Greek vowels[4] are shown (the five main English equivalent vowels: A, E, I, O, U, are shown bolded); Plutarch (c.110) said that the seven vowels were ordered in alignment with the seven wandering stars, and the "E" was the sun vowel.

The basic numerical structure of the heliopolis creation myth, from which we see the letter theta embodied in the nine gods of the Ennead.

In 2500BC, in Heliopolis, cosmo-theologians, in the philosophy behind the building of the pyramids, devised the "Heliopolis creation myth", according to which all things originated from the Nun, the watery abyss of beginning, from which the Ennead, or family of 9 gods, was engendered, as shown adjacent. The 9th letter, theta, of the Greek alphabet is themed on the Ennead, and the symbol of the 9th letter "Θ" is the Egyptian sun symbol.

Ogdoad | 8 → 888 → 24 letters?

In 2300BC, in Hermopolis, the former Heliopolis model was revised to the affect that the one watery god "Nun" became an 8 water god family called the Ogdoad, as show below:

The number "8", in turn, became the new basis of the numerical cosmological scheme in Egypt.

888

In 1500 to 800BC, Greeks began to travel to Egypt, and from their studies there, constructed an alphabet that contains eight monads [1s], eight decads [10s], and eight hecatads [100s]. Here, eight times three equals 24 letters. Likewise, the three "8s" joined together gives the number "888", which, mathematically, is found in the solar magic square, a magic square containing 36 boxes. The sum of the numbers in the box equals "666" symbolic of the "sun". Each of the 36 boxes is said to be representative of a the sun moving through one degree in the zodiac, in a 360-day year (less the five epagomenal days). Hence, one degree, or one magic square box, would be equivalent to 10 days, which is the length of one standard week, in the Egyptian calendar system. The following are two views on this "888" to 24-letter alphabet jump:

“Now Jesus possesses this ineffable generation. From the mother of all things, that is, the first Tetrad [4], there came forth a second Tetrad [4], after the manner of a daughter; and thus an Ogdoad [8] was formed, from which, again, a Decad [10] proceeded: thus was joined a Decad and an Ogdoad. The Decad then, being joined with the Ogdoad, and multiplying it ten times, gave rise to the number eighty [88]; and again, multiplying eighty ten times, produced the number eight hundred [800]. Thus, then, the whole number of letters proceeding from the Ogdoad [multiplied] into the Decad, is eight hundred and eighty-eight [888]. This is the name of Jesus; for this name, if you reckon up the numerical value of the letters, amounts to eight hundred and eighty-eight [Jesus, Ιησους (Iseous) = 888]. Wherefore, also, the alphabet of the Greeks contains eight Monads [1s], eight Decads [10s], and eight Hecatads [100s], which present the number eight hundred and eighty-eight [888], i.e. Jesus, who is formed of all numbers; and on this account he is called Alpha [α] and Omega [ω], indicating his origin from all.”
Irenaeus (c.180), Against Heresies, Volume One (pg. 15) [5]
“To the Christian Gnostics, 888 was sacred because when all twenty-four letters of the Greek alphabet are added together, the sum is 888, symbolizing the totality of creation.”
— Chevalier Emerys (2007), Revelation of the Holy Grail (pg. 204)[6]

The full explication of this, jump, has some holes that need to be filled in, so to see the big picture?

Alpha | Bird?

In 1000BC, Greek scholars, who all studied in Egyptian, developed a 27-letter alphabet, which shows the isopsephy value of each letter, much of which being based on the former Egyptian cosmological scheme, e.g. the "sound" (or call) of the bennu (aka phoenix) was said to be what initiated creation, hence "A" (or alpha), the Greek letter equivalent of the phoenix (bird), and the number "1" coincide.[7]

Alpha and Omega

An "alpha" (α) and "omega" (ω) depiction of the Horus to Harpocrates to Jesus rescript, which is coded, in some way with the formation of the Greek alphabet. The first image showing Horus the child, as the morning sun, born out of a lotus, that rises out of the Nun (Upper Egypt, 2500BC). The middle image shows Harpocrates, the Greek version of Horus, on a Greek gem, shown between an omega and an alpha (Greece, 500BC).[8] The latter image shows Jesus, with a sun halo, shown between an alpha and an omega, in a Roman catacomb.

The combined term "alpha and omega", in respect to "alpha" being the first letter, and "omega" being the last, such as shown behind and in front, respectively, of Harpocrates and Jesus, adjacent, is reported to have some hidden numerical meaning?

Quotes

The following are related quotes:

“The mark which signifies the monad is the source of all things. And it reveals its kinship with the sun in summation of its name: the word ‘monad’ when added up yields 361, which are the degrees of the zodiacal circle.”
Iamblichus (c.305), Theology of Arithmetic; cited by Kieren Barry (1999) in The Greek Qabalah (pgs. 65-66) [9]
