Scary the Number 6 6 6 Decoded by Numberphile

Now what is super creepy is that the numbers on a Monte Carlo roulette table add up to 6 6 6.  Gamblers sometimes explain things with this story.  The biblical reference comes from revelation chapter 13.  Ok here is where things get even more unusual:

In the revelations chapter “Let him who has understanding reckon the number of the beast”.  In English the word “reckon” comes from “calculate” in Greek.  Then it can relate to Nero Caesar from the Roman Empire who spelled out using the number and letter system with the Greek alphabet can be related back to the number.  Possibly a coded message?  And note: in older manuscripts the writing was 616 so which is the number to worry about or is it both?
