The Oracle at Delphi

The Oracle at Delphi was used by the Greeks to predict the future. It was somehow found in the high hills aligned with some of the world's strongest magnetic lines (how the heck did these "ancients" know that???)

We took an all day guided bus tour to Delphi, through some magnificent countryside.

Key:

1- Our guide in front of the bronze statue of the "Charioteer".
2- Golden head dresses for the priests and priestesses at the Temple of Apollo.
3- The statute of the Winged Sphinx.
4- The Temple of Apollo- where the prophecies of the oracle were interpreted.
5- K and I. What a view.
6- The restored treasury of Athens.
7- Pillars and ruins were everywhere. When they found this area the city of Delphi in the 1800s the city was atop it. The site was so important that the city was dismantled and moved to another site.
