Description
Summary:"In Search of History" journeys 2,000 years from ancient times to the present, taking a closer look at the events, places, and hidden mysteries that have puzzled and inspired historians and experts across the ages. Cradled by Mt. Parnassos and a valley of olive groves, Delphi was the sacred area where Zeus' two eagles crossed paths. In a cave under the Temple of Apollo, pilgrims enveloped by hallucinogenic smoke asked questions of the priestess.
