About the Coptic Language
Coptic is the final stage of the ancient Egyptian language, written in a Greek-derived alphabet with six additional letters from Demotic Egyptian. It emerged in the 1st-2nd centuries CE and became the liturgical language of Egyptian Christianity.
The Nag Hammadi Library, discovered in 1945 in Upper Egypt, consists of 13 leather-bound papyrus codices containing 52 Gnostic texts written primarily in Sahidic Coptic. These texts -- buried around 367 CE to preserve them from destruction by the institutional church -- include the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Philip, the Apocryphon of John, and Thunder, Perfect Mind.
The Coptic alphabet retains the numerical values of its 24 Greek-derived letters (the Milesian system), enabling isopsephy -- the practice of computing the numerical value of words and phrases. This portal applies isopsephy analysis to every Gnostic passage, revealing mathematical structures hidden within the sacred texts.
Coptic Isopsephy System
The 24 Greek-origin letters carry their Milesian values (Alpha=1, Beta=2, ... Omega=800). The 6-7 Demotic-origin letters (Shai, Fai, Khai, Hori, Janja, Cima, Ti) have no traditional numeric values and are assigned 0 in our analysis.
