Very interesting, them Etruscans..
Lusty bunch, no?
Wholeheartedly agree. When I was in high school (wow, that was a while back already, never mind) I always took study hall in the library (if I could); I picked up some coffeetable book, maybe a Nat Geog omnibus volume that they were pushing hard back in the 1970s (”This England” is one I’m still more or less on the lookout for, in estate sales and whatnot). It had a series of articles about various little-known groups from a wide range of historians, including one title “The X-Group Enigma” (about a dig in the Upper Nile valley somewhere) and “The Etruscans: An Historical People Who Left No History”.
