Numerology is a system of esoteric beliefs about the mystical connections of numbers with physical objects, processes and people's lives and their consciousness, which are interconnected and affect each other.
Numerology has a rather ancient origin. Perhaps the emergence of numerology is due to the fact that, in ancient alphabets (for example, in Hebrew), letters were used to write numbers, therefore having numerical values.
Now it is impossible to establish exactly when exactly numerology was born, for the reason that in ancient times (in Babylon, India, Egypt, Greece and Rome) such a separate field of knowledge was not distinguished. The same scientists studied numbers from the point of view of both philosophy and mathematics.
