The place of Euclid when he was also the guys who is most known for discussing basic geometry and the five Platonic Solids, which are the d4, d6, d8, d12, and d20 can't be too surprising that some people there were familiar enough with those shapes to want to use them too, and dice games were already around and widespread. That is just all kinds of cool though.

Only games, or for divination, random number generators, etc. Hopefully they were smart enough to realize how superfluous the d100 is.

It is very clearly a die, too, not just some random engraved sculpture.

Tom would probably be our best source on symbols; apparently ancient Egypt had THREE numeric sets.

Like Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers? You expect me to fall for that as easily as General Zod did?

Also Tom's remark's on the CMB make it pretty definitely not numerical
