Plutarch "On the Cessation of Oracles"

By William (Bill) Charles Kaysing and Bill Kaysing

Plutarch was born in 46 C.E. in Chaeronea, in Boeotia, Greece, and died about 119-127. He was one of the two priests of Apollo at the Oracle of Delphi. His skills as a writer and speaker brought him fame in the first century Roman Empire. Often cited in other books at this site, of interest are the extensive passages where he discusses puzzling points about ancient Paganism. In spite of his priestly background, Plutarch was a bit of a free thinker, and loved to speculate multiple explanations for natural and cultural phenomena. As such, he is one of the predecessors of modern social science.

Few Words

Bill Kaysing was a visionary, a genius, and was never without a handgun. This is a man I can admire. A real rocket scientist who decided society in the mid-sixties sucked. And broke free. And lived well, by his accounts. Never went hungry, always mobile, always free. He will inspire you, I hope.
