very good guess, but not even close. The person that will know this question will most likely have to have stood on these same stairs. Once I give some clues, it will not be hard to figure out.
Those that question life on earth, will no doubt ponder the number 108 more than anything else that they stumble upon....I still to this day, have never read anything that truely describes the meaning of the number 108 and how it applies to humans on earth... I have had a few men say they know and try to explain it, but they explained they knew very little to nothing about why, who, where it all comes from and the largest question of all; WHY?????
In world history, no number even comes close to be as famous as the number 108, it stands out in world history thousands of years ago and stands out in current times...but what human understands it?
