In the small vaulted chamber, the complete skeleton of an individual was resting on a stone bed on the left. A spear lay along the body, while brooches, on the chest indicated that the man was probably once dressed with a mantle. [Massimo Legni/SBAEM/UNITO]

the stone table on the right might have contained the incinerated remains of another individual

Sure, a real fun loving and eclectic people. What, just like the servants and cats the Egyptians murdered to send along the way with the Pharaohs?

Ever notice we have folks running all over the planet opening any grave they find? Go to your own cities cemetaries a rip open their graves. See how that works out.
Also why don’t they have to go in front of a judge to exum these people?

“A fun loving and eclectic people”

I think it’s safe to say that the Etruscans invented eclecticity.

Transplanted Greek culture overcame the indigenous Italian Etruscans.

It is not the only “mystery” language on the continent.

Very clever of the Etruscans to teach the French how to make wine, given that there were no such people as the French until centuries later.
