Ancient Estruscan Origins & Cities
Mountain | reviews | videos | photos
Go on a journey to the ancient cities Volterra, Populonia and Cervetari and see why Etruscan civilization was famous for its wealth, fine ceramics, handicrafts and bustling trade, and how it was all lost in battles with the Greek colonies in southern Italy. Etruscan civilization is the modern name given to a civilization of ancient Italy in the area corresponding roughly to Tuscany, western Umbria, and northern Latium. The ancient Romans called its creators the Tusci or Etrusci. Their Roman name is the origin of the terms Tuscany, which refers to their heartland, and Etruria, which can refer to their wider region. In Attic Greek, the Etruscans were known as Τυρρηνοὶ (Tyrrhēnoi), earlier Tyrsenoi, from which the Romans derived the names Tyrrhēni (Etruscans), Tyrrhēnia (Etruria), and Mare Tyrrhēnum (Tyrrhenian Sea). The Etruscans called themselves Rasenna, which was syncopated to Rasna or Raśna, earlier T'rasena from whence comes the Roman and Greek names, prompting some to associate them with the Egyptian Teresh (Sea Peoples). It is cognate with the Attic T'latta, Doric and Koine Thalassa the word for the sea, . The word may also be related to the Hittite Taruisa As distinguished by its unique language, this civilization endured from the time of the earliest Etruscan inscriptions (ca. 700 BC) until its assimilation into the Roman Republic in the late 4th century BC. At its maximum extent, during the foundational period of Rome and the Roman kingdom, it flourished in three confederacies of cities: of Etruria, of the Po valley with the eastern Alps, and of Latium and Campania. Culture that is identifiably Etruscan developed in Italy after about 800 BC approximately over the range of the preceding Iron Age Villanovan culture. The latter gave way in the 7th century to a culture that was influenced by Hellenic Magna Graecian and Phonecian contacts. After 500 BC, the political destiny of Italy passed out of Etruscan hands. The latest mtDNA study (2013) shows that Etruscans appear to fall very close to a Neolithic population from Central Europe and to other Tuscan populations.

What's with the terrible background music? Are they facts or a fiction computer game?

Background
The origin of the Etruscan civilization (Etruria, Central Italy) is a long-standing subject of debate among scholars from different disciplines. The bulk of the information has been reconstructed from ancient texts and archaeological findings and, in the last few years, through the analysis of uniparental genetic markers.
Methods
By meta-analyzing genome-wide data from The 1000 Genomes Project and the literature, we were able to compare the genomic patterns (>540,000 SNPs) of present day Tuscans (N = 98) with other population groups from the main hypothetical source populations, namely, Europe and the Middle East.
Results
Admixture analysis indicates the presence of 25–34% of Middle Eastern component in modern Tuscans. Different analyses have been carried out using identity-by-state (IBS) values and genetic distances point to Eastern Anatolia/Southern Caucasus as the most likely geographic origin of the main Middle Eastern genetic component observed in the genome of modern Tuscans.
Conclusions
The data indicate that the admixture event between local Tuscans and Middle Easterners could have occurred in Central Italy about 2,600–3,100 years ago (y.a.). On the whole, the results validate the theory of the ancient historian Herodotus on the origin of Etruscans. -

brandi your a liar, your bs would make you a good comedian. Jew you should be a man and get life.
You are ready for a sanatorium ..
You repeat as in a straitjacket. Brando is a liar, a liar Branda, Branda is a liar! "
Science looks for evidence, arguments, artifacts, answers ..
liar, liar, liar, Slavs, Slavs, Slavs are the symptoms but no artifacts! -
Etruscans were Greek and if any DNA test says otherwise then its a bogus test and it wouldn't be the first or last. Phoenicians and Romans were also Greek.

Etrusc people were the hungarians

A big kiss for all Italian girls Etruscan origin .. in 15:48
The text is read from right to left ... read letter by letter ...
The letters of our serbian letters We will transliterate in the Latin alphabet!

This analysis is intended for those who love the ancient inscriptions ...
This is a serious science, because all the peoples of Europe are entitled to know their ancient history ...
The basic human right of every person has the right to investigate and study the history and culture of his great-grandfather ....
The peoples of the white race are also people, and therefore they have a right to know who were their great-grandfather ...
What language were they speaking?
What are letter writing?
what religion they had? -
Cultures and races are usually completely different. America has no common genetic identity at all, though american culture has now permeated the globe. We should not be surprised that Roman Culture overran much of Europe though the same people have lived in all of these places for millenia (as genetic studies have confirmed).

In 18:37 look at golden plate!
I will read the first few rows of golden plates from PIRGE

Catholic Church is guilty of genocide in Italy -
Etruscans are Serbian civilization...
All of the etruscan texts are on Serbian language and Serbian script...
Etruscans texts are proof of genocide ... Genocid from katolic mafia...
Genocide against serbs in Italia...
Why today Italians can not to read Etruscans texts? (but the Serbs can to read it)Because of cultural genocid from 12. centuru...Till 12. centuru Italians spoke and wrote Serbian language...
the Catholic Church has made genocidal romanization of ancient languages and Italians cut off from the old root...Now italians can not to read Etruscan texts because of Catholic mafia..
The Catholic Church must stand trial for genocide! -
Descendants of them are only the albanians today, couse etruscan came from illyrian tribes

Mario Alinei (YT) and Michelangelo Naddeo study connect Etruscans to MAGYARS !! Even if they came directly from Karpathian basin even if they came from Middle East !!! Ancient time FULL of MAGYAR names ...UR , URU solyma <later HIERO solyma (Josephus, Herodotos )= today JERUSALEM , ARAD < ARPAD city states BABilon , SAMOS , KARPATHOS < KOS islands still there today TABOR mountain etc.._ many more !!! BIBLICAL ? = Genesis = GENEZES ( gen manipulation ) , Ister = ISTEN ( and not Dio , GOD , Gott bullshit ), Thoth (farao )= TOTH ( MAGYAR surname ) ..SORBONNE university 1977 study for ancient etimons (roots ) #1 MAGYAR 68 % , Turkish family 26 % rest ? heber , latin , greek SANSKRIT around 10 %

The Greeks in Magna Grecia said the Etruscans were from Asia Minor (turkey). But we are not 100% sure !

Excellent book on this is "Etruscan Places" by D.H. Lawrence. Always seemed strange to me that the Etruscans appeared as such a highly-advanced culture just as the Philistines, another Minoan-based advanced people, were fading out of the Mideast. Not to mention that Minoans and Philistines too were criticized for the freedom and public life of their women. Lots of other similarities.

It is very obnoxious and annoying to see your spammy messages across the top of the screen. It really takes away from the video. I would have normally looked to the right anyway, to see what other videos you offered. But I most certainly will avoid your videos from now on because of this.

The Etruscans were a Phoenecian people from the East.They share a lot in common with the Israelites , Caananite and "Sea Peoples".
-
It appears that the Etruscans and the Sardinians have a lot in common.
-
They came from Turkey, Dna proves it
-
Etruscans or the Rasenna people laid the foundations of the Roman alphabet, architecture, stone carving and sculpture, army structure, sea and land trade, shipbuilding, state structure, metalworking and more. Their true homeland was Tuscany and the people living there are genetically the direct descandants of the Rasenna people.
