Italian scholar Umberto Capotummino argues that a hidden numerical code links the Egyptian Book of the Dead, the Chinese I Ching, and the Gnostic system of Basilides of Alexandria. Through number patterns like 24, 64, 384, 365, 153, and 666, he claims ancient priests and sages encoded the same map of sacred time and the soul's journey toward immortality. The episode explores Abraxas, Chnoubis, the Ba and Akh souls, and a divinatory method for reaching Egyptian spells through I Ching hexagrams.
