According to ancient scripture 666 is the mark/number of the Beast,...Anti-Christ, etc.
Was popularised in the '70's by the movie
The Omen (Gregory Peck)
It was first popularised by the "sorcerer," Alistair Crowley - a shameless conman and self-promoting slight of hand man in the early part of the 20th century who basically invented the modern paranoia about Satanism. He'd found some references to this number in some or other ancient books on numerology and declared it "The Number of the Beast." He had scant interest in historical accuracy - preferring to very broadly interpret ancient texts that he could barely read. A lot of the other predecessors of the New Age movement got quite het up about his "poetic license" with things like astrology and tarot. So the joke's on those who get all worried about it.
Interestingly enough, Jimmy Page was a huge devotee of Alistair Crowley's - collecting originals of almost all his works and once owning his former house in Scotland. Once again, he seems to have been unable to spot, in the man's biography, the very obvious tale of a drug-addicted con-man.
