25. Priestess's seat, Delphi

Delphi, Greece: Kerstin Trawick and the stone where the Pythias (priestess) sat on a 3-legged stool (you can see the 3 holes where the stool sat, a channel around the stool through which the water from the sacred spring would flow, and a hole to the right of the water trough where gases could come up. The gas hole was usually plugged up with a stone navel, but the Pythia could remove the stone in order to prepare for a prophecy.
