It would be nice if they turned up a long bilingual text, say Latin and Etruscan. Almost all we know of the Etruscan language is from short bilinguals of the form "A. Doofus erected this to his father lest he be thought lacking in filial piety."

That red-haired lady is obviously some guy's ugly wife with a big fat cat. In fact, the cat looks a lot like a character from a Cary Grant - Katherine Hepburn movie. No need to get supernatural here.

Not only was Lars (non Norgensis) Porcena an Etruscan King of Rome, supposedly I Clavdivs (and II Clavdivs and III Clavdivs and IV Clavdivs....) was of Eutruscan descent and wrote about their language. His book was last (perhaps buried in the Robert Graves.)
