Modern numerology is based on the teachings of Pythagoras, a philospher of Ancient Greece in the 6th century BC. He wrote a treatise on mathematics from a religious and philosophical perspective. But Pythagoras only used the numbers from 1 to 9 as zero was not yet a concept known to the Ancient Greeks. Pythagoras also related numbers to the letters of the Greek alphabet, alpha being 1, beta 2 etc.
Chaldean numerology is older than Pythagoras, and does not include the number nine when converting the letters to numbers, although the number 9 can occur as the final sum.
