On Delphi
Delphi was an ancient religious sanctuary dedicated to the Greek God Apollo.
Developed in the 8th century B.C., the sanctuary was home to the Oracle of Delphi and the priestess Pythia, who was famed throughout the ancient world for divining the future and was consulted before all major undertakings.
It was also home of the Pythian Games, the second most important games in Greece after the Olympics.
The Greeks considered Delphi the center (or navel) of the world.

On megaliths
Spain’s 7,000-year-old 'Dolmen de Guadalperal', a megalithic monument made up of 144 standing stones some up to six feet tall arranged in a circular open space. Located in the province of Cáceres, this previously-underwater monument has now been completely exposed following the harsh drought that has hit the area.
Often referred to as the “Spanish Stonehenge” thanks to certain similarities with the original in England, this structure has now appeared for the first time in 50 years.
The monument was discovered in 1926, during a research and excavation campaign led by the German archaeologist Hugo Obermaier between 1925 and 1927.

On the Vinča culture
In 1908, the largest prehistoric Neolithic settlement in Europe was discovered in the village of Vinča, just a few miles from Belgrade, capital of Serbia on the shores of the Danube.
Vinča was excavated between 1918 and 1934 and was revealed as a civilization in its own right.
Long before the flourishing of Greece and Rome, even earlier than the first cities in Mesopotamia and Egypt, at the downstream of Danube River lived a nation ahead of its time in trade, arts and craftsmanship.
During its efflorescence the “Old European” civilization had been one of the most advanced cultures in the world.
A typical town consisted of houses with complex architectural layouts and several rooms, built of wood that was covered in mud.
The houses sat along streets, thus making Vinča the first urban settlement in Europe, but being far older than the cities of Mesopotamia and Egypt.

The Callanish Stones (or "Callanish I", Clachan Chalanais or Tursachan Chalanais in Scottish Gaelic) are an arrangement of standing stones placed in a cruciform pattern with a central stone circle.
They were erected in the late Neolithic era, 5,000 years ago and were a focus for ritual activity during the Bronze Age. They predate England’s famous Stonehenge monument, and were an important place for ritual activity for at least 2,000 years.
They are near the village of Callanish (Gaelic: Calanais) on the west coast of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland.

On surviving the inflation
Inflation in short means devaluation of money over time. Meaning, things you buy today for price x will cost x+n at a point of time in the future.
One strategy to counter this process, which is gaining traction nowadays is buying things you will need in the future right today.
I have some suggestions for you, how you can save your money. In short: buy things which aren't printable.
- canned and long-lasting food
- electronics you need for work or education
- cables and components you'll need to maintain electric things
- tools
- hygiene articles
- childrens clothes 1-2 sizes over what you need now
- socks
- underwear
- fluids and parts for maintaining vehicles
- things to drive combustion ovens
- AMMUNITION
This is just a short list, but you get the idea: buy things you know you will need now, which will cost a lot later.
Inflation is coming and I want my kin prepared!
