The Queen's Tomb is the first major Etruscan burial to be excavated in the past 25 years. After uncovering the monumental staircase, archaeologists will continue to dig into the mound to explore the rooms and burial chamber inside. (Pasquale Sorrentino)	This house found in 2010 is the first Etruscan domestic property with standing walls to be excavated. (Rossella Lorenzi)

The legend of Atlantis might have been partly based on this civilization

Well that’s a teaser if there ever was one! Rather than re-subscribe my canceled subscription to that far left radical magazine I’ll wait for the results to be published elsewhere.

They had a goldsmithing technique that is unrivaled as well...some beautiful work in gold...

They were a whimsical people.

Everything that the Romans knew they learned (stole) from the Etruscans, including the decadence of the 'upper class' (aka: Orgies) and 'The Games' (Gladiators fighting to the death).

To the Etruscans, all Romans were like the inbred Banjo Player in Deliverance. They used Romans for servants and slaves. (Or is it slaves and servants?)

The Nat Geo Channel does have some interesting programs on at times
