                          https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/omphalos
                          
                          From Ancient Greek ὀμφαλός (omphalos, 
                          "navel"). Doublet of navel.
                          
                          Noun; omphalos (plural omphaloi)
                          
                          1. An ancient religious stone artifact, or
                          baetylus, used to denote the direction of

                          2. The theological proposition that the
                          world was created with certain indicia of a
                          history which had not actually occurred
                          (such as the humans who had never been
                          connected to umbilical cords being created
                          with navels).
                          3. The navel.
                          4. A raised central point; a boss.
