Unfortunately, most of the words that have been identified, apart from the numeral ki, ‘three,’ appear to be new additions to the Etruscan lexicon and we can’t yet pinpoint the meanings

You're, in fact, fortunate. So many new words! And a new job ahead - finding another language equalents.

So, someone previously cracked the code and these guys came along and “uncracked” it.

Yep. Oh how I long for the good old days when we could read Etruscan.

“By around 300 to 100 B.C., they were absorbed into the Roman Empire.”

Pretty good trick considering the Empire was yet to be established.

An inscribed stone slab unearthed at an Etruscan site in Tuscany is proving to contain one of the most difficult texts to decipher

"I did not send or receive any stone slabs marked classified."

Unique book goes on display
Unique book goes on display

The world's oldest multiple-page book - in the lost Etruscan language - has gone on display in Bulgaria's National History Museum in Sofia. It contains six bound sheets of 24 carat gold, with illustrations of a horse-rider, a mermaid, a harp and soldiers. The small manuscript, which is more than two-and-a-half millennia old, was discovered 60 years ago in a tomb uncovered during digging for a canal along the Strouma river in south-western Bulgaria... There are around 30 similar pages known in the world, Ms Penkova said, "but they are not linked together in a book".

The Roman Empire was well-established, so what are you talking about? The first conquest was of nearby Ostia (now a tourist attraction, Ostia Antica). Other neighboring settlements got gobbled up during the second half of the last millennium BC. The so-called Roman Republic was a hereditary oligarchy, where a handful of families owned and/or ran everything, and it had an empire that included most of Italy. The title Imper Iter (emperor) was bestowed many a time before Julius Caesar (including upon his colleague and rival, Pompey), but the count is generally begun with Octavian/Augustus, who was the first permanent chief executive, an evolved necessity; if anything the Roman Empire was far more egalitarian and representative than the so-called republic ever was or was intended to be.
