- "What really went on at the ancient Greek oracle at Delphi, how did it get its awesome reputation and why is it still influential today?
"Michael Scott of Cambridge University uncovers the secrets of the most famous oracle in the ancient world. A vital force in ancient history for a thousand years, it is now one of Greece's most beautiful tourist sites, but in its time it has been a gateway into the supernatural, a cockpit of political conflict, and a beacon for internationalism. And at its heart was the famous inscription which still inspires visitors today - 'Know Thyself'.
A couple of years ago I was lucky on two successive mornings to have the place entirely to myself. Not another soul apart from entrance staff. Totally still except the bells of goat herds in the distance. Amazing spot. Something very special.
Wow. That’s cool. I’d like to see it
When I visited Delphi, I think what struck me most was the feeling of power and spiritual serenity .....It was so strong you could almost cut it with a knife...standing there amongst the clouds with the cool breezes. It left me with a very strong memory.
@@kd5txo I definitely agree. I have been to many well known religious sites around the world, like Jerusalem, but they all pale in comparison to the atmosphere at Delphi. Its the geography in part, and in part connection to just to myth but to real history -- knowing of how many key figures from antiquity made their way to Delphi over the centuries, and how critical it was to the classical world. You feel connected to both time and space.
The sun god Apollo really watches from the hot still stones
There should be a 'love' button to click - this is an excellent documentary.
«Μηδένα προ του τέλους μακάριζε». Σόλων ... Call no one happy until you see his end!
Paraphrasing this ancient Greek wisdom one may say: " Call no empire invisible before you see its end"!
Amazing done documentary with great enthusiasm and honesty.
Thanks a lot Dr Michael Scott!
"Call no man happy till he's dead." I vaguely remember a discussion of this in Aristotle. I thought it simply meant: you can't really accurately evaluate someone's life before it's over, because something really bad might happen between now and his death. You say it means "Call no empire invisible before you see its end". Not sure I understand that. But thanks for providing the original Greek.
Wow, this was so well done, and moving. I really liked the Presenter: Dr Scott; and would like to watch more of his work. Delphi was much more beautiful than I imagined: greener, more scenic,.. and there was more of it left than I had thought. Greece looks gorgeous.
That was fantastic, Dr. Michael Scott, I just loved how Delphi was filmed, especially from the adjacent mountain, it gave me a much better understanding of the site. I know what that statue at 33:28 and the end would say : "Everyone is missing the whole concept.". It is all about a large comet that dropped among the inner solar system and destroyed the world three times blocking out the Sun and sky for long periods of time bringing death and destruction and when the Impact Winters dissipated the Sun rose triumphantly and life began once again. The breakup of this comet and dispersal of debris formed the Taurid Stream that we still commemorate today as The Festival of the Dead, the victims of bombardment from above, dressed up as the dead when we cross this most dangerous meteor stream during its pre-perihelion going door to door asking if we will die by the Trickster or will it be a genial climate Treat while the Taurids or Halloween Fireballs fall. This story in universal in mythology such as Typhon and Apollo which is the Comet vs. the Sun, it is even depicted in Gobekli Tepe at Enclosure D with the Sun holding the Dragon, such as Gilgamesh holding a lion in one arm, and standing domineeringly on the row of seven avians, representing the Pleiades, where said stream has its radiant, and the adversary next to it with the bull on its chest representing the constellation of Taurus. In the remaining adulterated Sibylline Oracles it is clearly stated that the knowledge of past destructions are spin-doctored into prognostications of the future. The Mesoamericans had the same concept of sacrificing to keep the Sun from disappearing due to the actions of the Feathered Serpent from the Pleiades! Everyone should read my 144,890 word work and join the paradigm shift.
About 75 years ago when a student at Cambridge, I visited Delphi, had read up about it and to a fair extent knew of the historic side which Dr Michael Scott so ably and thoroughly explains.. Being not a follower of any Abrahamic Faith but of a Vedic one which was in many ways resembled the religion of the ancient Greeks, I entered the Temple with a feeling of reverence and felt a "religious spirit" and knew that the aura of the divine still survived there. I am a native of Guyana, regarded as a Caribbean country. Great gratitude to Dr Scott for his inimitable tour! ("Know thyself" is a usual term used in Vedic Faiths to enjoin one to follow the path to Moksha or Nirvana)
Damn how old are you?

No need to ask age.
one of the best on delphi i have seen!
Thanks for this great documentary. Over all I learnt english and french watching documentaries like this. The meaning and sense of Delphi is showed beautifully in te document and expressed masterfully at the end with "know thyself" and "nothing in excess", making reference to these stupid and difficult times where the beast drives the chariot and the men pull from it. Thanks to you and to Michael and farewell.
ENLIGHTENMENTING ...where the beast drives the chariot and the men pull from it. How apt to describe our world today!
Thanks.
OMG...i visited delphi 1982 for amazing 6 days...stayed in sybilla hotel..i enjoyed every ms,i lost all adresses of my friends there by 1989,i wish thay r now ok ,thank u for good video
It didn't have the wealth of swiss banks, but Delphi had a lot of wealth for ancient times, spirit world price & respectable. It was one of the greatest religionous centre of the ancient world. It was famous & well known in ancient times.
excellent documentary, one of the few to make justice to this fascinating subject
GREECE YOU GOTTA LOVE HER ,IS ANYONE ELSE IMAGINING THEM SELF'S BEING THERE AND THE TIME IT WAS A BUSTLING PLACE FULL OF MURMUR AND FILLED WITH MULTIPLE SOUND AND SENSES THAT GIVE A FEELING OF FULLNESS OF LIVING?
Just visited Delphi yesterday (4/21/2022). Due to little background knowledge, I did not understand every piece of “ stones”, “statues”and “walls”. This well done video gave me great amount of knowledge and help me a lot to understand the old world and new ones. Thank you very much! 👍
It is sad you went to visit Delfi without previously getting informed where you were going. I am sorry, but have to ask this, why did you go there in the first place, then, if you didn't have a clue what that place, or any other, is.
@@grofne99do you always type nonsense like this?
Simply amazing..............it tell so much about what we are today.
Thank you Michael for your amazing documentary and your beautiful French:) my name is "Delphine ' and i have been wishing for all my life to visit Delphi. You re-ignited this wish:) Delphine from Brussels
Wonderful! I have studied Greece for a few years and this brought so much more understanding and scholarship to what I knew about Delphi and the Greeks. Thank you!
Excellent doco. Dr Scott's book on Delphi is equally good.
Yes it a very special place….great documentary!
the best video document on the omphalus recorded
Mycenean remains are found in the area .
Perhaps it had preserved informations and memories of colonization from the Minoan-Mycenean era.
Delphi was the center of Geopolitics during Archaic era.
Amphictionia had the main task of protecting the autonomy and independence of the oracle of Delphi.
Its political and ethnogenetic value was a consequence.
Amphictionia named after the mythical king of Athens, Amphiction (Αμφικτύων), brother of Hellen (Έλλην).
The emperor Hadrian renamed Amphictionia in Centro Panellenico.
Excellent documentary. Know Thy Self. Not in comparison to others. It means exactly what is says Know Thy Self.
I have a favorite grand auntie named Delphi, she's 99 years old now. I've always loved her name. I can imagine her as a little girl, the center of the world!
Yes. In greek the word for sister is Adelf & brother is Adelfos. It is often shortened in cyprus to fos mou (my brother) & fis mou
(My sister )
Thank you. Well presented.
"Know thyself" was attributed to Thales and "Nothing in excess" to Solon. Was the oracle intentionally invoking these two (of the seven) sages of ancient Greece as pillars of thought? Thales was a philosopher and mathematician, Solon an advocate of democracy and morality. Were they the templates the oracle wanted us all to follow?
The Oracle of Delphi has respectable.
Thank you for sharing!!!
no one ever speaks of the megalithic history of Delphi it's right in your face
I’m from a village just to the west of Delphi in the prefecture of Doris.
Yes, I should have made my comment clearer: I love this documentary and didn’t mean to criticize it.
Looks to me, like you're quite a good artist. I liked what you drew.
I gonna be the first to say it. It looks like Michael Scott left the Dunder Mifflin paper company to travel the world and study ancient history.
Learned a few things from assassin's creed odyssey as well but great video
How many of questions and answers are recorded?
Every history documentary I watch on RUclips has a comment section of people who think of themselves as history experts, far more knowledgeable than any of the certified expert in the documentaries themselves. We are truly living in the age of the delusional.
Question: During the process of removing residents, living on the sight of Delphi, did authorities exercise the premise Might Is Right? Might Is Right is eminent domain?
Dr Scott reminds me of a smart Bradley Cooper.

Ομφαλό της Γης ονόμαζαν τους Δελφούς οι Αρχαίοι Έλληνες . Αυτοί κάτι ήξεραν περισσότερα από εμάς !!
Alithos!
maybe get a version thats in focus
When I visited Delphi 20 years ago, it was over-run with tourists jumping all over the ruins...very disrespectful. How did you manage to get there at a time when it was practically empty (or was it?)
Was orakull answering while in trans from the fumes or by listening the stories from the crowd of people?

Love your work, Dr. Scott!
I sure wish classicists, historians, and mythologists could take on this theory! Symbols & such, are explained so powerfully! An absolutely stunning mixture of science & myth!
On YT

The past may be far more fascinating than we could ever imagine! What are Dragons, serpents, etc.? PLASMA DISCHARGES, seen in the skies, and remembered!
...and once they dug through those 'centuries of legend' the hard work was done, I guess.
That's a sick cave
Yes!!
Thank you for posting this. Also he kind of sounds like Tom Hiddleston
Unfortunately, the omphalos is not shown - translated the buzzing pillar, the beehive. Unfortunately, the matriarchal beginning of Delphi with female priestesses called Melissae - the bees - is also not discussed. Traditions tell that Delphi was the sanctuary of the earth goddess Gaya, who was worshipped in the cave shown and later in a predecessor temple. Delphi represents the transition from matriarchy to patriarchy through the construction of the temple of Apollo and the victory of Typhon over the serpent Python.
I thought the eagles met in Pittsburg

...'Know Thyself', based upon my research & my own resulting general theory, mostly refers to one acknowledging & knowing ones own inner innate Divinity; The God within onesself, in reference to intuition & gut-feelings being a shared human trait/aspect, like the mind& intelligence & imagination & other nonmaterialistic intangibilities...mind, body, spirit, trinity of self&trinityofGod...yaddabladda etcetera so on & so forth & such of the like & some not of the like & other things mixed with same things...🙏🙏🙏
Is there any indication that Delphi's ancient name was -->Korine
From that, or those, vantage points I wonder if anyone is allowed, or has tried, to dive off with a hang glider or flying suit? What would you be able to discern? I can't understand the language. French? Or Italian?
why is he whispering inside the cave? 13:28
Acoustics.
Out of respect.
The only certain (secular) outcome, in my opinion, that we can draw is that, centuries later, we as humanity (including the ancient Greeks, themselves), have not managed to obtain and to execute properly the 'Know thyself' advice, and to adhere to 'Nothing in excess'.
Only to prove to the mankind history, that we were, we are, and we shall remain as prehistoric beats in our very cores...
The thing that we became 'civilised' beasts, makes it even worse due to the lies we everyday feed (mostly) ourselves and others, since the beast has became unpredictable, hippocritical, and thus - much more dangerous. Nowadays, for example, we are (once again) direct to another collapse of civilizations..
Thankfully, there is a way out. But to the expense of the very existence to our beasty selves.
And this is something it is impossible to be done exclusively by ourselves.

This is such a challenge for the apostle Paul!
The woman possessed of the spirit of divination must have been from the Oracle of Delphi!
[Acts 16:16 KJV]
And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divinationG4436 (pythōn) met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:
pythōn From Putho (the name of the region where Delphi, the seat of the famous oracle, was located)
It was the original Jerusalem thought of the text .... Then came to me one of the seven angels with the seven bowls filled with the seven last strikes, and spoke to me saying: Come, I will show you the bride the woman of the Lamb
10 And he carried me by the Spirit into a great high mountain, and the great city showed me the holy Jerusalem coming down from heaven from God
11 It has the glory of God, and its brightness is like the most precious stone, like the stone of Jasper, crystalline
12 And she had a great and high wall, and she had twelve gates, and at the gates were twelve angels, and written names were the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel.
13 There are three gates to the east, three gates to the north, three to the south, and three gates to the west
14 And the wall of the city was essentially twelve, and it bore the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb
15 And he who spoke with me had a golden rod with him to measure the city, its gates, and its wall
16 And the city was set square, as long as the width. And the city measured the ark by twelve thousand gallows. Height, width and height are equal
17 And he measured his wall: a hundred and forty and four cubits, the arm of a man, any angel
18 And the building of its wall was of Jasper, and the city was pure gold, like pure glass
19 And the foundations of the city wall are adorned with every precious stone. The first foundation is Jasper. The second is sapphire blue. Third white agate. The fourth emerald flies
20 The fifth was my fear. Red Agate. The seventh aquamarine. The Eighth Emerald. The ninth sapphire is yellow. X Green Agate. The 11th is blue. XII Amethyst
21 And the twelve pillars were twelve pearls; each one of the doors was of one pearl. The city market is pure gold as transparent glass
22 And I saw no temple therein, for the LORD God Almighty, is the Lamb and its structure
23 And the city does not need the sun or the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God has illuminated it, and the Lamb is its lamp
24 And the peoples of the faithful walk by their light, and the kings of the earth come in their glory and honor to them
25 And her gates shall not be shut in the day; for there shall not be there at night
26 And they shall bring the glory of the nations and their honor to them
27 And nothing shall enter it into uncleanness, neither shall it make an abomination and a lie, unless it is written in the book of the life of the Lamb
"There are no coincidences"
It's so odd to hear it pronounced as DEL-fē, not DEL-fī.
hehe, indeed it is pronounced DEL-fē and it's actually plural. It derives from the name of King DelfOs.
Or-akull = icee that means without feeling.
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE VILLAGERS!!!!! Did they get paid? How much? Where did they go? Was a new village built for them????
I was a philosophy student in school..I was told the fumes came from burning marijuana..my teacher was very conservative and mainstream...I don`t know if it was true..that`s just what he said..he was an experienced archeologist my guess is he knew something of what he was talking about
Recent update on this..I finally visited the site...the town was cool...most of the tourist rubbed me the wrong way..difficult to take pictures as everyone and I do mean everyone was intent on taking selfies..by the time I got to the museum I had pretty much given up on getting any decent shots...was much worse in Athens at the Acropolis however..I will never understand why anyone would travel half way around the world to take a picture of theirselves and leave 15 minutes later..the locals were nice..they seemed to agree that it was a decent place to live when the tourist weren`t around..I guess that makes myself and them cynical
PLEASE keep your hands on your stirring wheel! ( says the oracle of the street police )
35:40 I understand that this is cultural heritage, but they have to be the goofiest and least intimidating soldiers ever
Yes, I just thought the same thing. Greek soldiers looked awe inspiring back in the day, but now they look like absolute clowns.
Go try mess with them and see what happens
polygonal walls...?
crickets wow
Ancient Greece. Ahead if its time in a world of tyranny and oppression?
I think that monotheism can have a tendency to have nothing in between the world and God and then present a God which has ideals which are not the highest ideals and the full understanding of God could probably be beyond most people.
There could be a vast multitude of other worlds outside the physical world with beings and Gods, which though are intersecting with the physical world.
The ancient Greeks also had a word for what is beyond the world of ideas.
Logos.
But it still could be valuable to have a good fertile ground to grow the good seeds in like Jesus Christ said.
Alexa:…the door?
Makes you realize how much the world lost when the fanaticism of christianity destroyed the ancient cultures and replaced them with repression and dreary patriarchal dogma.
If anything the Greeks conquered the Romans--from a cultural and intellectual standpoint. Romans of "good birth" prided themselves on their knowledge of the Greek language, Greek culture, and Greek philosophy.
No one cares about your opinion.
are you going to vote for Donald Trump?
Ancients christians cared only about the afterlife and they were eager to screw up their mortal life in order to go to heaven. That's why a lot of them became monks or hermits. Some of them whipped themselves all day. Others decided to live all their life standing. Others lived on top of pillars. Christians praised poverty and abhorred wealth. Luxury was considered to be a deadly sin. They encouraged people to do nothing but pray. How can a society like this produce anything? Of course, Christianity destroyed civilisation. Civilisation re-appeared when people started to break free from the Church.
Humanity will not be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest.

She was there telling prophecies way before Apollo arrived, not sure where the "as if" it was coming from a man that wasn't even there yet?
Know Thyself / Gnothi Safton - it is pronounced
Do you think the 'u' of seauton back then was pronounced as 'f'? It's been a long time since then...Also there were likely variations in the Greek world, then and since then...
But of course!!
Know thyself.=for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as God, knowing good and evil.
Genesis 3:5
the old serpent, he that is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world; he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him.
Revelation 12:9
I know where thou dwellest, even where Satan’s throne is; and thou holdest fast my name, and didst not deny my faith, even in the days of Antipas my witness, my faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwelleth.
Revelation 2:13
His French is good but his u-sounds are far too short. He even says “hubris” with a short u though perhaps that is how it’s pronounced in Greek.
Pythia = ask-answer.
Is that the omphalos? 28:48 Looks more like a warhead to me.
Yes, though I think this one is a replica, the original is being displayed at the Dephi Museum, though even this some claim that it's a replica from the Hellenistic or the Roman era (never 've been proven though, so it might as well be the original).
Btw Mr Da Vincy, are you aware that Da Vinci's famous Vitruvius Man, with its perfect proportions, was a 5th c. BC Greek creation, which they used to construct the Parthenon? Vitruvius (80-70 BC, c. 15 BC) was a Roman author, architect, civil engineer and military engineer, who travelled to Athens and saw a rock relief the designers of the Acropolis made, in order to solve the problem of the different metric systems the workers at the Parthenon were using (they were from different places). This relief Vitruvius copied (he describes it, I believe, in his "Education of the Architect"), and this is why Da Vinci named it the "Vitruvius Man", all the perfect proportions of which one can find in the Parthenon. On this relief (large part of which still survives) there's also the "foot" (the unit, ft) as we know it: 1ft = 30.48 cm.
That is linga. Watch sadhguru speak on Linga.
so what? it wasn't the right of the people that had been living there for eons to stay?
The bellybutton of the world.
15:20 this is the problem with the western academic version of what "history" is.
European academic history is defined using the actions of kings, generals, politicians, the "great men"
*but*
all of those great men *had to have* a whole lot of not so great, indeed mostly humble,
people, the you's' and me's' on this planet, without whom that "history"
wouldn't have happened....
picture Nappy marching on Moscow without the 600,000
humble soldiers he ordered to be behind him....what would that have been like...a big nothing.
He would be just another tourist trying to convince uncaring border guards
that he wasn't going to anything with the sabre and pistols in his luggage,
and being told by them to go back to Paris, where he belonged...
I'll take the history we are shown by what archeology is concentrating on finding today...
the history of the ordinary everyday existence we all shared then, and still share today
as for what the ancient stones would say to us? nothing...
we would hear only their laughter,
and if they are statues, their pointing fingers
What gives you the impression western academics only talk about the great men? There's a lot of good history out there being done on how the 'common man' lived.
@@strategicsage7694 There is now...this kind of work is a very recent development.
Unfortunately what is taught in the wider academe is still very much the "great man"
"rigid dates" hypothesis. There is no flow such as we witness in our everyday lives.
Stratified, dry, and misleading.
I'll quote myself if I may...
"I'll take the history we are shown by what archeology is concentrating on finding today...
the history of the ordinary everyday existence we all shared then, and still share today"
This is a great documentary; but Michael scott is so attractive it's distracting....

18:00 Laughed my ass off at this part. With how connected we were then and now with the internet. I get the romantic settlement, but please stick to telling us about events and stop trying to make something more relevant in some social way. Any tourist trap is just as much a wealth of useless information and gossip and comparing it to the oracle is preposterous. A decent documentary besides.
That’s actually me in the video bro.
If I were you I’d shut the f**k up cuz you only got like 93 subscribers dude and I bet you never even been to delphy or anywhere else in rome.

The distruction is not about christanity and other monotheistic religions, those people were pagans who worship statues and false gods, as many people are not aware of, people living on this earth were put here for a purpose, and it is to live temperarily, earn their living beside worship their only God whom sustain their life, but if the people start to look other directions by making up their own gods and religion and never offered one single gratitude towards their true God which sustained their lives, this will result a great punishment ,because this is a great mischief and because those people could carry on this tradition for decades centuries and millinium by passing on for generation unless God almighty steps in and take the order of his own creation, in that case many civilisation was destroyed and finally met their faith and Gods wrath rained up on them by means of war and natural disaster. please refer to Quran the book of Allah(God) for further information it will certainly change you perceiption of pass present and future and will also answer you question about why are we here.
Mahadl Jama Western power was born in Greece and the Old Religion of Theurgy requires significant honesty and is very solitary in general nature. Research REDISCOVER OF THE MAGICK OF THE GODS & GODDESSES. Part of meccas power is from the ancients Gods Energy's which is why it has been used for monotheistic purposes but built upon deeper and older knowledges of Soul Transcendence.
Pagan path working allows for many ways to grow and prosper and embraces any and all religions that are polite and supportive like Taoism or Hinduism for the easiest of example's. 🌞🌹🇺🇸🌹🌛
What's up with u ppl going on propagating about ur religion. Ur religion started around 1400 yrs ago. But the above shown artifacts are way older. They were an advanced civilization, while u guys were still hanging upside down from the trees. Don't be so consumed by ur religion that u don't see the facts that are infront of ur eyes.

I watched this documentary several times before visiting Delphi last October. It enhanced my experience tremendously. I have since sought out other films by Michael Scott. His series on theater in Greece is equally good.

Book recommendation for anyone interested in this subject matter: “Man Being Volume 1: The Transmission”. It covers everything from dreams, death, the afterlife, time travel, reincarnation, extraterrestrials, portals and gateways, Vatican and Renaissance secrets, Ancient civilizations, Lemuria, Atlantis, Jesus, Sinai, Egyptians and the Pyramids, Hebrew letters, etc. Wild read. Best I’ve had in years.
Oh.. wait... I already commented prior to the last part of this video. And for me the most impressive element here was this remaining part of the original Platea Victory bronze column made of three entwined snakes standing in that kind of dug out pit in the middlej of modern day Istanbul. This is "magical" and such a good news for me to have learned thanks to you about its preservation. At least in this partialy remaining condition. If I would be wealthy I'd like to make a replica of it in 1:1 size and offer it to Delphi as a gift for all visitors there to see it once again. Because it doesn't matter that it would be just a copy. Emotions are also created by vision and when people can see on site the incarnation of the ancient Hellene's pride they will feel the same since ideas and feelings can be transmitted just by words and the vision of art. Maybe there is somebody having a bit of his change to spare for such a project?
roughly 20 years ago I visited Delphi. it was a dream come true, and it's a beautiful place. the guide was quite good but I would love to visit again with Dr. Scott as the archaeological historian. Does anyone know if he has a video of the monasteries in Meteora? throughout my travels in Greece I ate some of the most wonderful fruits and other produce, breads were heartier than those in France.
