Wau (the ancestor of the Latin letter F) is an archaic letter of the Greek alphabet which originally stood for the sound /w/ and later remained in use only as a numeral symbol for the number '6'. Whereas it was originally called wau, its most common appellation in classical Greek is digamma.

Not sure about amazing, but I think the number 1 can lay claim to being the most ancient and the most singular number.
Sounds like a hoax.
It may sound like a ahoax, but it is not. Go to Google and type 'digamma.'
