Hi Justawolf
Welcome to the "Show"!
The 90 foot stone was originally found by the 3 young men in 1795.
The translation claimed to be written on the stone was never intended to be
deciphered by anyone who was not an expert in mathimatics.
I would believe it to be a warning to those that knew...not to proceed further!
Only those instructed would stop and look for the side Tunnel running to the Treasure Vault!

Everything you repeat here is unsubstantiated, and in some cases contradicted by what we know. What we know is that the 40 characters are a later detail that was allegedly passed on to the individual, a novelist, who popularized his solution to what no one can confirm is given from any historical context. So, it's invention based on a detail with no provenance. There is no mathematics to do on symbols, per se. You would be limited to trying to interpret them as numbers or to simply count them.
I'll give you my amateur mathematical take on this. Count the number of symbols in each grouping. 6, 4, 5, 3 (18) for the top line; 7, 6, 3, 6 (22) for the bottom line. 2 lines of 4 groupings that can be summed: 13, 10, 8, 9. That's an embraced 13 +9=22 and 10 + 8=18. So, 22 and 18 again. If you reduce to digital roots, you get 4, 1, 8, 9 which sums to 22.
22/18=1.222222 with repeating decimal of 22.
18/22 reduces to 9/11 and that is equal to 0.81818181... repeating 81. What can we glean from this bit of sorcery? With a repeating decimal of n=2 units, 10^2-1/ denominator (11) is supposed to give you its numerical partner 100-1/11=9.
So 9 and 11 are very harmonious polycyclic pair in number theory (their roots harmonize).
18/22=0.8181818181
4/22=0.18181818181
18/22+4/22=1, as it should
18/22-4/22=14/22 and that is the height to base ratio of the great pyramid's profile, because half of that is the Kepler triangle of 14/11 which comes from the relationship of Phi, the golden ratio, in the Kepler triangle. Phi is the hypotenuse length of the Kepler triangle. It's height is he square root of Phi.
14/11-9/11=5/11=0.4545454; and that is reciprocal of 2.2
Can we say anything else about this? Yes, this Phi based math was not appreciated in modern times before about 1608. That's quite helpful to know that we are dealing with something that is not ancient Templar anything. It tells us that whoever is tugging on your leg has a post secondary level of education too. That is not to be unexpected in Victorian times.
Anyway, I'll just close by saying that the story we are given is based in 40 where 8 by 5 is used as a the simple approximation for Phi, 8/5=1.6 which is the 5th one given by the Fibonacci sequence.
Kepler's writing is probably behind the folky idea we are handed that says there are "more than one treasure" at OI. In Kepler's opinion there where two great treasures given to men to know the world with. They were the Pythagorean theorem and the golden ratio. He compared them to gold and silver in alchemical parlance. That's the gold and silver you will dig for if you mind the details of the OI stories, as opposed to mine the ground. And again, this was all described in 1847 when the thing was dissected critically by a contemporary of the Archibalds who knew their Masonic leanings. Pythagoras is considered a symbolic brother in the fraternity of Masons. Pythagoreanism is at the root of a lot of the symbolism we are get presented with in Masonic allegories. Your 9 levels of 10 units for the hole is a call out to the repeating 9 digits in our repeating cycle of numbers. 9 has the connotation of being the last step before a return to the monad with ten (a return to the zero of the monad).
Is this even clever? No, not really. It should probably jump out right at us. Problem is we are very far from having a smart and informed hoi poloi. You can show this to people and sill not have them pick up on anything that isn't more in line than a Disney suggestion.
