The Oracle - A Short Review.
The Oracle by William J Broad, published by Penguin books is a historic and scientific examination of ancient Delphi and the mystery behind it's reputation. The first part of the book looks at historical Delphi and the political and social impact the Navel of the World had upon ancient Greece. The second half looks at the archeological evidence in combination with modern geological science to determine if there was a scientific explanation for the prophetic prowess of the Oracles. A very intriguing and enjoyable read. Highly recommended if you enjoy historic mysteries.
