What Archaeology Says

A major Panhellenic sanctuary dedicated to Apollo from around 800 BC until 390 AD. The Oracle (Pythia) likely inhaled ethylene gas rising from geological fissures, which can induce trance-like states. The Omphalos stone marked the symbolic center of the Greek world. It was a sophisticated religious institution, not an alien transmitter.
