40. It seems that Catalan numbers were known in the Antiquity. Not only the conspicuous 3 and 7
and their sum 10 (and various products and multiples), which occur in many traditions, but
also 127 (the number of provinces in Ahasuerus’ empire, cf Esther 1, 1) and the sum 137 (the
number of years Abraham’s elder son lived, cf Genesis 25, 17). The hypostyle room of
Ammon’s temple in Karnak, Egypt, has a total of 136 columns, the number that Eddington
initially proposed for the electric constant a [22]
