In this number, a single numeral appears three times. Each "6" holds a different place value, position, or function. Sacred to the ancient mysteries, the figure presents one number in three expressions, suggestive of the objects of Babylonian worship.

This makes us wonder about the triquetra symbol.

According to Thomas Nelson Publishers, "the triquetra is an ancient symbol for the Trinity."* It commonly appears on pagan artwork and jewelry. It has been suggested that the symbol is composed of three interwoven sixes. Any archaeological evidence of such an association with the mystical number would be of interest to us.
