Π Ι Ω in The Library of Alexandria?
Does anybody know the reason for the "Π Ι Ω", Pi, Iota, & Omega letters that appear on the wall in several places of the The Library of Alexandria?

So we have some shared bits of information: Pi:
Iota:
Omega:
Greek letters: 16-9-24 Represents: p-i-O Values: 80-10-800 Addition of Greek letters: 49 Subtraction: -17 Multiplication: 3,456 Division: 0.074R Addition of values: 890 Subtraction: -730 Multiplication: 640,000 Division: 0.01 ...not sure if this helps anything, but it's worth a shot |

Could it be a reference to the puzzle in Tomb Raider 1 with the Greek letters? ( I don't know which greek letters it was) Or could the Greek letters a reference to the names of developers of Core? |

Maybe its just design aesthetic and there aren't any reasons behind it.

In Modern Greek, the verb "Pino" (Πίνω) and the Future "Tha pio" (Θα πιώ ΘΑ ΠΙΩ) means "Drink " and its future. And I laugh every time I see it it's funny XD

This would be my guess to. Although there was an pretty interesting topic here a while ago about how some of the textures in TRIV are based off real world architecture and works of art. So I wouldn't be surprised if there was an reasoning behind the Greek letters being included.
