They were pretty much gassed for a bit and started having haluccinations.
On another note, most of the times the oracle of delphi was very accurate with his/her messages. This is because they were well-informed by the leaders of other states. Enemies of other states would come to the oracle for guidance in battle.
Still how does that explain the accuracy of the predictions? All ancient cultures used mind-alerting substances to free the unconscience so as to hear from the "gods". Could it be that we are "gods" when we open up to that part of each of us? Sometimes with the help of substances.
I'm thinking maybe she was using a vespertine to induce a trance like state.
guys this was 9 years ago
No, we are not gods. We are only humans. Thinking we are gods is very new age thinking.
@@Drew15000 I am not gonna read that stupid Bible, pure lies.
the oracles predictions were mostly wrong and they died due to the toxins only to be replaced with a new young women
@Helije7 It is no insult to call something natural. That is merely a stigma that society has attached. Indeed the natural can be every bit as bewitching as the supernatural. Maybe even more so, since the supernatural never goes beyond a mystery while the natural offers one a chance to learn the truth.
"if apolo was a musician, then his priestest, apithia was his instrument" yeah he played her every night
I-
I was down in Chiapas Mexico 30 +/- years ago. One morning we were out in a cow pasture in the middle of the jungle looking for mushrooms. This pasture had a huge bush enshrouded pyramid right in the middle of it. A freaking brahma cow with it's calf chased us up the pyramid and kept us up there most of the day. We would try to go down the other side and it would circle around to block our way.
It finally went off to find some shade and we climbed down the far side and hauled ass out of there.
And then?

Might be an idea to try reading the story first before commenting. Oedipus never knew who his parents were so it was only after he was married that he found out it was his mother.
ok. makes things slightly less creepy😅 thanks for the info!
Thanks for bringing this up spellbinder. Not wanting to adopt a mystical path, by forgetting and putting aside the perceived success rate of the Oracle, the conclusion "the supernatural was in fact simply natural" is a half-satisfactory answer to one of the most intriguing figure of antiquity.
@Cutnutlet no Oedipus didn't, your right but Oedipus did go to the Oracle of Delphi to learn about his future because you were allowed one visit per lifetime and that is when the Oracle of Delphi prophesied that Oedipus would kill his father and marry his mother. Then he traveled the path to Thebs.
oedipus was a weird and sick story. But still great!
good video, very informative
This prophecy was one of the few well determined cos generally the prophecies from Delphi's oracles was not so clear.
@condafarti Laius was the king of Thebs that's why it's called a Thebian play, and the mother, Jocasta did not put the chains on him it was a Herdsman, because he was told to do so by Laius but it was Polybus, king of Corinth and his queen, Merope, who adopted him as they were without children of their own.
I am watching this is in 2020
Interesting... So that's why we're called the Delphi "Oracles". Btw, Delphi is pronounced (Del-Fy) NOT (Del-Fee).
And I thought it just had some of the best parks and developing original music and art scene with Coffee Beat (At the Delphi Public Library), Rockin tha Gazebo (Spring and Summer at the Gazebo on the Courthouse lawn), as well as live music (at VFW Hall, Office Tavern, etc.
Also, David Lee Roth (from the band Van Halen) is from Delphi originally (so I've been told). That's cool!
Im pretty sure Nostradamus was getting high off that same shit when he was writing his predictions.
580 BC - The Oracle at Delphi was one Temple in a network of many Oracle Temples. Each Temple was a communication center. The "Old Empire" Priests designated a local "God" for each Temple. Each of the Temples in this network were located at precisely 5 degrees of latitude intervals from the capital city of Thebes throughout the Mediterranean area as far north as the Baltic Sea. The shrines served, among other things, as a grid, housing electronic beacons, later called "Omphalus Stones". The grid arrangement of Oracle sites can only be seen from miles above the Earth. The original network of electronic Communications Beacons were disabled when the Priesthood was dispersed, and were replaced by carved stones. The symbol of the "Old Empire" priesthood is a Python, Dragon or Serpent. It was called the "Earth-Dragon" at Delphi, which is always represented in sculpture and vase-paintings as a Serpent.
In Greek mythology the Guardian of the Omphalus Stone at the Temple at Delphi was an Oracle whose name was Python, the Serpent. She was an IS-BE, who was conquered by a "God" named Apollo. He buried her under the Omphalos Stone. This is a case of one "God" setting up his Temple on the grave of another. This is a very accurate euphemism for The Domain Force that detected and disabled the "Old Empire" Temple Network on Earth. It was one of the fatal blows to the "Old Empire" Force in the Solar System of Earth.
559 BC - The Commanding Officer of The Domain Battalion who was lost in 5,965 BCE was detected and located by a search party sent to Earth from The Domain Expeditionary Force. He was incarnated as Cyrus II of Persia during this time. A unique system of organization was used by Cyrus II and the members of that Battalion who followed him from India through his progression of Human lives on Earth. In part, it enabled them to build the largest Empire in the History of the Earth to that date.
The Domain Search Party who located him traveled around the Earth searching for the lost Battalion for several thousand years. The party consisted of 900 Officers of The Domain, divided into teams of 300 each. One team searched the land, another team search the oceans and the third team searched the space surrounding Earth. There are many reports made in various Human civilizations concerning their activities, which Humans did not understand, of course. The Domain Search Party devised a wide variety of electronic detection devices needed to track the electronic signature or wavelength of each of the missing members of the Battalion. Some were used in space, others on land, and special devices were invented to detect IS-BEs under water. One of these electronic detection devices is referred to as a "Tree of Life". The device is literally a tool designed to detect the presence of life, which is an IS-BE. This was a large electronic screen generator designed to permeate wide areas. To the ancient Humans on Earth it resembled a sort of tree, since is consists of an interwoven lattice of electronic field generators and receivers. The electronic field detects the presence of IS-BEs, whether the IS-BE is occupying a body, or if they are outside a body. A portable version of this detection device was carried by each of the members of The Domain Search Party.
Stone carvings in Sumeria show Winged Beings using pinecone-shaped instruments to scan the bodies of Human Beings. They are also shown carrying the power unit for the scanner which are depicted as stylized baskets or water buckets, being carried by eagle-headed, Winged Beings. Members of the Aerial Unit of The Domain Search Party, led by Ahura Mazda, were often called "Winged Gods" in Human interpretations. Throughout the Persian Civilization there are a great many stone relief carvings that depict winged space craft, that they called a "Faravahar". Members of the Aquatic Unit of The Domain Search Party were called "Oannes" by local humans. Stone carvings of the so-called Oannes are shown wearing silver diving suits. They lived in the sea and appeared to the Human population to be men dressed to look like fish. Some members of the lost Battalion were found in the oceans inhabiting the bodies of dolphins or whales.
The Space Unit of The Domain Expeditionary Force are shown flying in a "Winged-Disc". This is an allusion to the spiritual power of the IS-BEs, as well as to the space craft used by The Domain Search Party. The Commander of the lost Battalion, as Cyrus II, was an IS-BE who was regarded as a Messiah on Earth by both the Jews, and the Muslims. In less than 50 years he established a highly ethical, and Humanitarian Philosophy which pervaded all of Western Civilization.
His territorial conquests, organization of people and monumental building projects were unprecedented before or since. Such sweeping accomplishments in a short period of time could only have been achieved by a Leader and a team of trained officers, pilots, engineers and crew members of a unit of The Domain, acting as a team, who had been trained and worked together for thousands of years. Although we have discovered the location of many of the IS-BEs in the lost Battalion, The Domain has been unable to restore their memory and return them to active duty as yet.
Of course we cannot transport IS-BEs who are inhabiting biological bodies to the Space Stations of The Domain since there is no oxygen in our Spacecraft. Also we do not maintain life support facilities for Biological Entities there. Our only hope has been to locate and rekindle the awareness, memory and identity of the IS-BEs of the Lost Battalion. One day they will be capable of rejoining us.
Wow that's longed
Mistery solved: they saw gods because they were high
Yeah
Toguro and Yusuke Yuremeshi were two big influences of the shalalei who gave us the prince of persia and lupin the third.
@condafarti the herdsman was not any relationship of Laius or Jocasta, he was only a mere servant! Oedipus was the ONLY child of them.
Haha She was high the whole time! That's great! XD
"WILL COME THE DAY THAT APOLLON WILL COME AGAIN,AND THIS TIME WILL BE FOREVER"

@CANDLES FOR LIFE oh yes i forgot hindu's have copyrighted rock, no one else can use them without being an hindu
Know thyself….
We need to go back to these days, when gods were like TMZ and needed better hobbies.
The fact that many people would come to her for guidance, gives her insight into the whole picture. She was indeed informed into almost every matter which allows her to provide helpful and mostly accurate advice.
For example, who parties who have decided on initiating a battle would consult the oracle for guidance. Given both situations from each party, the oracle is able to provide accurate answers.
He was adopted son of Polybus and Merope was the son of Laius and Jocasta. Thus, he had killed his own father, King Laius, and as a consequence, married his mother, Jocasta.
.....After he met the beast sphinx, he solved the riddle and in theves they made him king and married his mother jocasta. They had four kids and After they find out the truth his mother suicide and he blind himself. Also before Oedipus start to search for his parents ask the oracle Pythia about who are his parents and she told him that he gonna kill his father and will have kids with his mother.....
the oracle just gave clever answers which anyone could interpet in his own way.
for example the answer to xerxes when he asked if he would live during his camaign to greece where the oracle gave an answer depending where u put the comma,
Or the answer to sparta where she said a king of sparta must die, we know that athenians bribed Pythia to answer this to spartans knowing that spartans were very storng religius people.
The Oracle at Delphi was one of many communications grid on Earth. When it was detected and destroyed the comms station was replaced with the omphalmus stone. A new God was installed.
hi, seems u know about this story just i wanna add some details.
Laius, king of Theves wanna know if his wife can give him a son cos his wife didnt get pregnant all these years and apollo say to Laius the prophecy of Pythia that says he gonna have a son but this son gonna kill him. For this reason his mother put chains to the feet to the newborn baby( thats why has this name also-->Oedipus, in ancient greeks Οιδιπους means feet and swelling) and left him in a mountain near athens.......
.....From there an old serpent find him and gave him to the king of Corinthos. He lived there until he became and adult. One day someone called him bastard and from this reason he decided to go find his real parents. On his way to theves he crossed a path called schism cos unite three main roads of ancient greek kingdoms. In that path he met a carriage and has argument with the people and he killed them all except one slave that after told him that one of the people he killed it was Laius....
No! That's demented and gross!
I named 1 of my daughters after this oracle. :-)
bettyblue912 how cool
@jhoda0697 All these things i mention before, and the herdsman didnt took only orders from his father Laius but also from his mom Jocasta. Both they were afraid of this baby. anyway.
agreed
Why are you so conviced she was right so often? The only accounts i know of the oracle are all from stories like Oedipus which obviously don't count.
Gods, these comments are so old.
So what, Old wine is GOOD !
actually that under stuff was a corpse of python killed by apollo
What else do you kw about Delphi? And the real reason it was set up as a temple of a priestess?
where can i buy the gas?
wtf commercials???
Yeah, sure National Geographic... and PBS, History Channel, and all other media... it's all science. Yep, everything's science- and that's all you need to know, sheeple.
your comment is the most precise about this video
no.
@jhoda0697 Who said that he was? are you ok? i think u have a serious trollign problem :P
pretty much
NATURAL!
science can explained this
wait and see
What an incredibly smug, pithy and shallow little blurb this is! I don't believe they even proved their point, limited, and superficial as it was. The worship of science is over. That's the temple that lies in ruins here, not the temple at Delphi. Look around. Modern science wrought this, and yet still there are still so many acolytes. There are none so blind as will not see.
Pythia means question in Albanian
yeah... o my..no word can explain the grossness and... -,-... speechless
walter
Same thing the Delphic oracle would do with the Spartans and Greeks, pretty much get people high and listen to their inebriated babblings.
marley and me happened
aha! so thats why sniffing paint/markers is illegal... they dont want people seeing the future.
delphi - psychedelic spiritual journey temple
Ur a temple 🙄
No. They were mediums, not drug using hippies.
Oracle Delphi Came from Yemen
No it came from mars
restore the place! but no oracle is required because no one believes fortune tellers anymore. and thats all she was. the best con artist in ancient Greece. think of the naive ones who gave the her gold and other things. a sneaky burn job she did!
@maxhaddrall Yes, I got very very very high, each time I wa there! You bet!
WTF what cruel faith for than Eodipus even i cant imagine marrying my mom and having kid and can you consider ur son as siblings too 0_o??
Epicurus :
"If God listened to the prayers of men, all men would quickly have perished: for they are forever praying for evil against one another."
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing?
Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God?
This was 340~ B.C, even THEN they knew Gods and prophets are bullshit.

walter?
yes, walter
