Throughout history, oracles were revered. Greeks, Egyptians, Romans and Indigenous people respected these superhuman individuals.

The most famous historical example is the Oracle of Delphi in ancient Greece. The oracle was associated with the god Apollo, who was believed to speak through the Pythia, a high priestess. The Pythia would enter a trance-like state, often induced by vapors rising from a chasm in the ground, and deliver cryptic messages, which were interpreted by priests. People from all over the ancient world, including leaders, would consult the Oracle for decisions on matters like war, politics, and religion.
