This title was made intentionally confusing and unpronounceable by Led Zeppelin. According to Jimmy Page, this was done to avoid criticism that the band had received for Led Zeppelin III. If nobody could pronounce the title, nobody could criticize it! For this title, each band member picked out an ancient symbol to represent himself. The 4 symbols in the title of this album stand for (in order): Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, John Bonham, and Robert Plant.
