The famous Greek oracle at Delphi has been the focus of particular interest over the last few years, due to the recent discovery of two fault lines in the earth which cross directly beneath the temple to Apollo where the priestess gave her prophecies. Underground gases, including the hallucinogenic ethylene, were found close by. This seemed to explain the legend of Delphi’s vapours, which rose from a fissure in the Earth and induced the priestess’s trance state. (see FT127:21)

These findings are of great significance, for they would seem to support the most ancient clues and therefore point to the hub of the oracle’s power.
