112… what does it mean? 4,600-year-old grave found in Burnt City

Iran
A very old grave has been discovered in the Burnt City in Iran, but its great age of 4,600 years is not the astonishing element of this incredible find.
The 40-year-old woman in the grave was also buried with 112 objects.
That may not seem so astonishing until you discover that another grave in the same location that was excavated in 1998 also contained 112 objects. That grave contained the remains of a man and a child.
This report does not tell us if the two graves were contemporaneous though, which is rather unhelpful.
There is some significance to the number 112. In mathematics it is the sum of six consecutive prime numbers – 11, 13, 17, 19, 23 and 29 – but it is unlikely those involved in the burial had any clue about, or interest in, such numbers.
It is mentioned in both the Quran and the Bible, but the grave’s antiquity rules out any reference to both.
The number 112 is also significant with Tibetan, Hindu and Chinese monks, who have 112 ways of Zen or Shiva.
If there is any religious reason for these artefacts then it can only lie with Hinduism, whish is the oldest religion on earth and is at least 6,000 years old. Also, in another article I recently posted here, a stone carving of Lord Rama and Lord Hanuman was found in neighbouring Iraq dating to 6,000 years ago.
Does that mean there is a connection? Probably not… but on the other hand the location of these graves, on the eastern side of Iran, is a lot closer to India than the carved stone found on the eastern side of Iraq, some 1,000 miles further west, and thus the same distance closer to India. I wouldn’t rule it out, but it does seem like a long shot.
I for one would love to know what on earth is going in these graves.
What does 112 mean?
I shall be awake all night now wondering… :-/
And then conclude at 6am that it’s just a coincidence and decide to get some sleep.
