| 750 b.C. | the city of Kume was founded as the first colony of the Greek in Italy. |
| 1930's | the tufa corridor was interpreted as the place of the oracle by archaeologists. |
The archaeologists of the 1930s thought they found evidence for this story,
although todays archaeologists are a little bit more careful.
It is possible, but not sure, that this is the true place of the oracle.
But it does not really matter, it is definitely an impressive sight and well
worth a visit.
