Don’t stare at this number for too long as it is obviously the Devil’s work! A palindromic prime number starting with a 1 followed by 13, yes 13, zeros then 666 (the number of the beast) another 13 zeros and a final 1. Named after Belphegor a demon, and one of the seven princes of Hell.
It is said that Belphegor seduces people to the dark side by suggesting to them ingenious inventions that will make them rich. According to some 16th century demonologists, his power is strongest in April and in Binsfeld’s Classification of Demons, Belphegor is the chief demon of the deadly sin of Sloth.
The symbol for Belphegor’s Prime, shown above, resembles an inverted Pi which was first seen as a bird in the 15th century Voynich Manuscript.
