Sicilian Peoples: The Sicanians

Sicanian architecture was simpler than that of the Phoenicians and Greeks. Few standing structures survive from the Sicanian culture, but the so-called "Temple of Diana" (shown here) overlooking Cefalù was built upon an older Sicanian temple to their own goddess of the hunt -- analogous to the Phoenician Astarte, Greek Artemis and Roman Diana.

I'm 100 percent Sicilian. My children are 100 Italian on both sides. Nice!

[SunkenCiv]

:’) You eat your pasta with a spoon then?

[blam]

I'm Irish but my DNA says I'm from Norway (yDNA R1b) and Finland (mtDNA 'V')

I may be a Viking who went to Ireland and stayed.

My Mothers friend Florence, there are no Italians South of Rome. My Stepfather, there are no Italians South of Albano, also Sicilians are Turks and Arabs, Brutti.

I have a feeling my DNA would reveal Arab decent lol. This because Sicily was invaded by everyone. I'm probably not even Italian. I would love to get the test.

[DeaconBenjamin]

Don’t be surprised if there is some Viking as well.

[angcat]

What are the personality traits of a Viking?

What are the personality traits of a Viking?

Believing they're 100% Sicilian while worrying they're not.

[SunkenCiv]

[angcat]

I was with the 25th, but Lee Marvin should have been a Master Sgt. I had a Platoon Sgt who was with the 1St Div from Africa to the end, cool stories.
