This is Akshay's date of birth using Egyptian numbers - 25 March 2001. Ancient Egyptians used this interesting numbering system. Symbols were simply repeated to represent a value. Two single strokes make 2 and five strokes are 5. The pacman plant like symbol is for 1000, and two of these make 2000. Add one to that and you get 2001.
This numeral system uses the Hieratic script.
Akshay had visited Egypt and worked on a pyramids project for school.
