Well Pythia actually fell in "ecstasy".
The gas consept started when the oracle was located in a cave when the place was dedicated to REA or GEA the earth goddess.
In classical times she was standing in on tripod and inhaling buning fumes form DAPHNI (laurel shrub).
Pausanias in the Roman period describes a different ceremonial than rthe one in the classical period.
As for mistery 10 SS troopers and scientists from Anenehrbe entering the cave at the base of Athena Pronoia Temple, in Oct 1942 disspeared without a trace.
It seems that the palce was also a large archive database kind of thing that preserved info from the Bronze Age and that it had contact with other faraway similar places and institutions.
The only distructions that was positively identified does not come form Celts or Romans but saddly from Ignorant Cristian monks.
Kind regards
Stefanos
