The ancient Greeks called it the Omphalos — the Navel of the World — and placed a sacred stone at the precise center of their known geography. The Oracle of Delphi (Pythia) delivered prophecies for over 1,000 years (8th century BCE to 4th century CE), sitting on a tripod above a geological fault that emitted ethylene and other hydrocarbon gases — producing genuine trance states confirmed by modern geochemistry. The Temple of Apollo, the theater, and the stadium cascade down Mount Parnassus at 570 meters elevation, creating a natural acoustic amphitheater. Every four years, the Pythian Games drew competitors from across the Mediterranean, second in prestige only to Olympia. Delphi sits on the documented Apollo/St. Michael ley line stretching from Ireland to Israel.
