TIME LINE___________

Psychic Investigators in ancient times understood the forces of nature as gods or spirits. The power of prophecy, for example, was believed to come from the god Apollo. King Croesus was written history's first psychic investigator. King Croesus of Lydia decided to test all the great oracles of his day. To each one he sent a messenger with the instruction that at a certain hour of a certain day he was to ask the question, "What is the king doing now?" Only the Delphic Oracle replied correctly, "He is cutting a tortoise and a lamb into pieces and boiling them in a brass cauldron."
