The place of Euclid when he was also the guys who is most known for discussing basic geometry and the five Platonic Solids, which are the d4, d6, d8, d12, and d20 can't be too surprising that some people there were familiar enough with those shapes to want to use them too, and dice games were already around and widespread. That is just all kinds of cool though.
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.

It is very clearly a die, too, not just some random engraved sculpture.

Makes one wonder about the purpose(s) for which the dice were used.

Tom would probably be our best source on symbols; apparently ancient Egypt had THREE numeric sets.

Also Tom's remark's on the CMB make it pretty definitely not numerical
