Khiarete all,
Wow! I was fascinated by this subject but didn't expect
such a response.
Please allow me to check my copy of the program this
evening to get details about the findings.
Paul,sorry but methane gas was discounted as potentially
fatal.However,since a geologist was involved samples were
taken and modern lab techniques were applied.The gas was one of three
possible that could cause the ecstatic frenzy of the Pythia.
They did indeed find evidence of emissions.
The fissures were very small cracks in the floor and even the
reputed water seen bubbling from the floor by ancient accounts
was found to be there.
I must say that modern attempts to discover the source does not
diminish my respect or reverence for this oracle.
Some things can be simple and yet magic!
