Is Delphi a sacred place?
Delphi was an ancient Greek town thought to be the center of the world and the universe. There were houses, walls, a gymnasium, a theater and several other non sacred structures. However, the Temple of Apollo is also located in this town. This temple was home to the "Delphic Sibyl" who was an oracle, as well as the Pythia who were Apollos prophets. This temple was regarded as a holy place to the ancient Greeks. It has been found that there is a natural gas (ethylene) leak in the temple that is a potential hallucinogen. It is believed that this is the source of the supernatural and cryptic prophecies .
