		Literature and brochures on the Valley abound, but I would like to focus here on only one small aspect that is frequently neglected--the Lethe River (in Greek mythology, the Lethe was the river of forgetfulness in the underground).
		Another facet of the Lethe that intrigues geologists is that, under normal circumstances when dealing with typical valley fill material, it would take at least centuries to create a canyon like that of the middle Lethe.
		To underscore a point made earlier, the easiest way to cross the Lethe on foot is to jump across at its narrowest point.

		Upon reaching Lethe, these souls were given a chance at eternal life by drinking from its waters.
		The Lethe recording process was almost as epic as the myth and the writing process, as it was recorded and mastered at several locations: Hollow Body Studios on Long Island, and Four Cats Studios and WorldWide Audio in New York City.
