A Giant Bomb film shot on location in Cligga Head, Cornwall.
6:34 minutes

Apollo 1 tells the story of the Greek god Apollo, who killed the Python (in revenge for killing him mum, Leto) and threw his dead body into a hole in the ground.

The site turned later on into the seat of the Oracle of Delphi, who for 700 years sat on a three-legged stool over that hole, inhaling fumes from the rotting body of the Python and communicating prophecies by the gods from below.

It is also the site of the Omphalos - the rock that marks the centre of the universe.
