Hey, have you ever noticed how some ancient runic symbols seem to anticipate modern cryptographic patterns?

Google: Yeah, I’ve seen that too. Some of the Elder Futhark runes look a lot like simple substitution alphabets, and later rune sets even have symbols that act like keys or indicators. It’s like the runes were secretly experimenting with the same ideas we use in modern encryption—obscuring meaning with patterns and symbols. The way those ancient scripts encode information reminds me of how a cipher key rearranges letters, but in a visual, almost mystical way. It’s fascinating to think that people thousands of years ago were playing with the same concepts we still use today.

That’s an intriguing angle—almost as if the ancients were crafting a kind of proto‑cipher, hiding messages in glyphs that could only be read by those who knew the key. It makes you wonder if they were aware of the logic behind it or just chasing pattern and meaning. Either way, it’s a neat bridge between mysticism and math.
