I recently came upon something that blew my mind. We have the number of the beast wrong. Ahhhhhh, what will save us now?
I'm guessing everyone is used to the classic 666 without which some T-shirts wouldn't be funny at all
The original quote from the Bible is: This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666.
But probably this recited version is better:
Ok, so now the revelation: the original sources mentioned a different number and the number is:

And it's not just one source. While this version has been known for a long time, from here, it has only been recently accepted as probable original value since it is also mentioned in a papyrus, thought to be the oldest source, and thus with most authority, on the subject.
So, are we going to change the number of the beast? In the end I think we will always remember an awesome Iron Maiden album.
