Without the Etruscans there would have been no Rome or Roman Empire. Their advanced culture lies at the foundation of Roman achievement. A fierce debate raged for many years about their origins. Some scholars claimed that they were natives of Italy. Others maintained that they came from Asia Minor (Turkey). Recent discoveries reveal that they had come from the East, from the place which also gave birth to Greek culture. Etruscan art and Etruscan tombs are magnificent tributes to the sophistication of this mysterious people.
 Write a Review of Etruscans
 
An informative lecture., March 24, 2009
Reviewer: hyllus
Although these ancient people were native to what is today modern Italy, they are often times confused with the Romans. In fact, the Etruscan language had no relation to the Roman language. This audio lecture makes understood their legacy and the "branding" of the Etruscans as the forefathers to the Romans.
The audio to this title is not the best quality but the lecture is still clearly audible.
