I don't like the title but had to keep it original. Basically, for the names of gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, lead, and mercury in old Armenian, the indexes of the letters sum to the atomic number of the respective element. The creator of the alphabet didn't know this because it was the year 405.


That’s really interesting
