Hi, I'm glad to hear that you enjoy my videos and the range of topics that I cover. I have been planning to cover both Gaius Terentius Varro and Narses for a while now, but I have been a bit too busy to pull it off in recent weeks. Right now, I am also working on videos for class focusing on Rome and I will probably share those at some point in the near future. As for the Bronze Age, that is something that I plan to cover for sure. I'm not sure when I will be able to cover the Luwians, Hittites, or any other Bronze Age people, but my guess would be that I will get around to topics like that by the end of summer or early fall.

@@ThersitestheHistorian THKU for delving into this subject. I believe if we look deeper into early Florence & Sienna we could get a better understanding of the context for their politics and society. in reference to the use of the word ''sacrifice'', this is a anti-matriarchal & racially loaded word. it draws the meaning into a 'barbaric' practice that is morally judged today. in contemporary times this word's meaning conveys a thirst for killing by pre-christian humans & 'senseless' murder. but truly this supposed lust for blood is romanticized to make humanity feel that we are progressively 'better' than our ancient or modern cousins. the fact remains that animals killed for religious reason were never wasted nor were they killed for the love of killing. all animals 'sacrificed' were given to someone to eat. if animal liver was used for religious reasons, that was just 1 small part 'given' to extract a spiritual value. I know this bcuz there are many cultures living today in Africa & Asia & Australia that are classified as Bronze Age culture, with religious practices dating back over 5000 years. modern humans may have changed biologically but emotionally we are NO different. we love & we lose loved ones & we grieve. Humanity could not have survived without the INTENTIONAL respect for Life that has followed us from the trees to the gardens to the fields of Civilization. not to say that Humanity is 'without sin' but in another context, how many lives have been 'sacrificed' to the Industrial Age of 'cheap labor' & the economic fuedal systems?

"All of Rome's seven original kings were Etruscan" I don't mean to be contrarian here, and even though Rome's kings are a mix of history, myth, and Legend, they weren't Etruscan. Romulus was supposedly from Alba Longa, who's co-ruler was Titus Tatius, a Sabine King. Numa Pompilius was said to be Sabine Tullus Hostilius was the son or Grandson of one of Romulus's companions Ancus Marcius was said to be the grandson of Numa and a prominent Plebian family. Lucius Tarquinius Priscus is the first of what is sometimes called the "Etruscan dynasty." Priscus was said to be the son of Demaratus of Corinth who travelled to Tarquinnia, but Priscus was not allowed to entire politics in the city because he was a Greek, so he travelled to Rome. Servius Tullius was related to his predecessor by marriage, and a whole heap of different legends, from being the son of a slave, to the son of a merchant, to a god. Tarquinius Superbus(Tarquin the Proud) was the son or grandson of Priscus. He went to the Etruscans after being overthrown, but when that failed, he exiled himself to the Greek city of Cumae. From his family would be the first 2 Consuls/Praetors. We only really have the literary evidence for these people existing and ruling, like Livy or Plutarch, and they don't speak of the kings being Etruscans(besides the father of Priscus settling in Tarquinnia).

Interesting history and a lot of debate on the subject. I would like to point out that the Latíni weren’t “related” to the Romans, they were the Ancient Romans.

If one source says they came from Lydia and they spoke a language related to one from Lemnos, which is off the west coast of Lydia, then I think that's the most likely source. If they were only 10% influenced by Celts I think the Latins might have seen them as very Celtic. As for natives, it's likely they mixed with the locals. That explains all three theories to me.

@GhostSal

I don’t think the Latins saw them as Celts because recent DNA studies have shown they shared a common genetic lineage. The Romans did however call northern Italy Gallia Cisalpina (Gallia= Gauls Cisalpina= on this side of the Alps). Which was referring to the people and land just north of the Etruscans.

Nice choice of topic, Thersites! As for the origins of Etruscans, don't bother yourself too much with theories. Etruscans were probably just ancient aliens!

It doesn't really matter who they borrowed it from. At the time they borrowed it, there were both Greeks and Phoenicians trading up and down the Tyrhennian coast. Historians say they borrowed it from the Greeks because it's more closely aligned with the Greek versions of that alphabet, and Etruscan art and culture was so Hellenized. By the time there is the earliest evidence of a culture known as Etruscan, Greek colonization and maritime trade had been going on, and what is known as the "Phoenician Alphabet" was spreading around the Mediterranean. The Phoenicians didn't invent the alphabet. It originated in Egypt, and was used next in the Levant(by the Arameans, Ammonites, Moabites, Israelites, Canaanites, etc, and spread out from there supplanting early writing systems.

Also, in your lecture on the early history of Rome you depict Brennus as leveling the scales in favor of the Romans while both historical sources on wiki (Livy) and a podcast on the history of Rome state that Brennus threw his sword on the weight-side of the scale, thus increasing the ransom; leading to the famous 'Vae Victis' statement.

The spelling is extremely different than how it sounds. I am aware that there are some very extremely different dialects in this small country due to spending some time there. It is hard in some situations for one dialect to understand another. I have heard this similar pronunciation in Stockholm. Spelling the word as I have heard it pronounced sounds like Fensterett or Fenstrett or a slight F+V sound in the beginning of the pronunciation.

Thank you for that educating general overhaul on the Etruscans, a society often passed over (no doubt because of the scarcity of knowledge) in the rush to get to the Romans. However, as someone who has dealt with the problem of ancient historians as 'historians', i.e. how they practiced the craft differently than we do now not to mention how they may have had a different perception of the role of history altogether from our modern understanding, it is by no means certain that a historian would necessarily seek out someone qualified in Etruscan, or that we can know what help the local people would be likely to give such endeavours. One would also think that those who still retained a working knowledge of their language and culture several generations after Rome's conquest, would be those the least likely to want to work with a well educated Roman. Of course this is not my particular field, so I admit I don't have any personal knowledge of the degree of ancient scholarship these particular ancient historians were known for. I am more familiar with ancient Chinese historians, and their concept of history and scholarship. Which needless to say, except for a few sterling exceptions, was very different from our modern ideas on the subject.

Hello, Why did Titus Livius call the Etruscans the Luceres tribe ? There were only 3 tribes during the romulean times.

26:25 I've just realized that the current name Cerveteri means nothing else than Caere Veteri, that being (the) Old Caere...

I had to laugh at your home ..what went through my mind when you first mentioned the paragraph .. the Estruscansalso must get all the credit for subvented the concept of an "HOA"!

A Serb deciphered the Etruscan script. The names of Etruscan settlements, such as Polatera, Sena, Bada, Rusele, Aretium, Volsini, Volci (vuci - wolf), Kosa, Svana (Sovana), Bieda, Cera (Kera)... It is easy to transcribe them into Serbian without editing. Svetislav Bilbija deciphered the Etruscan script using the Serbian Cyrillic script. When he saw the Etruscan works in the museum, he could immediately understand what was written. The Romans and Latins inherited the complete culture, religion and skill of inherit from the Etruscans. The Etruscan art of divination based on the observation of animal livers was called Haruspicium(hara) from the word Hara or Žgara, which is the Serbian word for entrails, another name was DISCIPLINE ETRUSKA. the question arises why the Romans called the Rasenes (Rascia, part of Serbia, there is a town of Raska) Etruscans, because we know that the Rasenes called themselves Rasenes. the liver(JETRA Serbian )was also observed for daily needs, looking at the liver of small animals (chickens), I believe that the cosmos is reflected in the liver, then alive is the old Serbian diminutive (jETRUSKA) from which ETRUSKA comes later. jETRA - jETRUSKA - ETRUSKA Another proof is the footwear, thay wear opanka (opanke, Serbian footwear) on their footwear, sculptures and frescoes. Etruscan work was placed on the she-wolf being sucked by the twins later in the Renaissance, through it we approach the oldest cults of Rasena, where the wolf represents the first Etruscan. maybe now it's time to adopt: man is a wolf to man. the wolf is the progenitor of the tribe, so it originally had a completely different meaning, a kind of cult password.

(11:38) The word “constricted” has the primary meaning of tightened, narrowed, or squeezed. The word is sometimes used as an alternative to the word “constrained”, perhaps because the two words have been conflated. The word “constrained” has the primary meaning of restricted, with the implication of the restriction being severe. The far more common (and, so, less impressive) word “limited” would be a better choice here for the meaning that seems to have been intended. The word “restricted” is a possible alternative, carrying the suggestion of the limitation being imposed. As a general rule, it is stylistically superior in English to choose the simplest and most common words that convey the desired meaning.

5:06 cannot find a latin root for window, word is from old norse. Fenestra? Oh i see it get explained later.

Only the last three Kings of Rome were "Etruscan". Read my historical novel "Gli ultimi Re di Roma" i.e. the last Kings of Rome; the first english edition is in progress. There is a new research about their language that seems to be related to the Kartvelian or south-caucasian languages (Georgian, Svan, Mingrelian, Laz). Also the Urartian language perhaps belonged to the same family, and so for that of the Hatti people, who inhabited central and eastern Anatolia before the Hittites' arrival in the region. Much work for scholars!

Agreed. Cato the Elder apparently dedicated four of the books of the Origines to the Etruscans as well. I can't help but think that if Claudius' work on the Etruscans and Carthaginians had survived, that his reputation as an emperor would be higher.

Еще в 1913 году на сакральной территории древнего чеченского аланского народа Чианти этрусков (цанар) империи г. Калаки (Тифлисе) в канцелярии наместника Его императорского величества на Кавказе вышла книга, Константина Михайловича Туманова с названием "О доисторическом языке Закавказья".Автор, приводя в доказательство огромное количество топонимов (названий гор, рек, хребтов, ущелий, поселений и других географических объектов), а также данных из исторических трудов древних авторов, летописей, преданий, археологических и прочих материалов, приходит к однозначному выводу о том, что предки чеченцев были самым первым населением на территории всего Закавказья и южнее в плоть до Африканского континента. Эрибун (Ереван) название это территории древнего чеченского аланского народа Чианти этрусков (цанар) империи , переводится исключительно на чеченский язык - в далине изба, дом, хижина.Известный исследователь В.П. Алексеев в своих изысканиях подтверждает, что этруски - урарты представляют собой не только физических но и языковых предков чеченцев. В последнем издании материалов по истории СССР также отмечается о том, что ( урартский - этруский) принадлежит к особой языковой семье, наиболее близким к ним является современный чеченский язык. М.Л. Хачикян, Мар.Н.Я. в своих научных трудах отмечают о том, что Древней Передней Азии, начиная с середины 3-го тысячелетия до.н.эры, до-конца 1-го тысячелетия д.н.эры территории древнего чеченского аланского народа Чианти этрусков (цанар) империи был тем народом, культурное влияние которых на остальные народы данного региона в плоть до Египта и Северного Средиземноморья, было доминирующим. Культурное влияние предков чеченцев (урарто - этрусков) на европейские народы не ограничивалось данными языка.Такие мировые произведения литературы и фольклeра, как " Миф о сотворении мира", "Миф о Пигмалионе", "Миф о Прометее" и другие по мнению большинства мировых ученных возникли в пeрвые у древнего народа Месопoтамии, ныне представленных на Кавказе.Чеченцы (Нахчи).Именно на территории древнего чеченского аланского народа Чианти этрусков (цанар) империи в Месопотамии в частности Урарту зародилась школа и университет, где обучали различным наукам, письму, счету, геометрии, алгебре.Были найдены клинописные таблички, свидетельствующие о знаниях чеченцев в этих научных областях.В одной из них доказывается теорема о подобии прямоугольных треугольников, которую приписывают финикийскому (греческому) ученному Евклиду. Историкам стало известно, что на территории древнего чеченского аланского народа Чианти этрусков Чианти (цанар) империи городе Шадумуме (Урарту) её приняли за 17 веков до Евклида. Обнаружены также математические таблицы, с помощью которых они умножали, извлекали квадратные корни, возводили различные степени, выполняли деление и вычисляли проценты.

Самого древнего времени до начала новой эры на территории древнего чеченского аланского народа Чианти этрусков (цанар) империи полуострове Крым стоял Vl легион (железный) который построил лагерь в Рафанее, что в южной Сирии, там Vl легион стоял на протяжении примерно 150 лет. Отсюда Vl легион "железный" перебрасываются на боевые операции - в самые разные точки Европы и Азии. Этих операций в биографии Vl легиона "железный" было немало. Это и две кампании консула Гани Да Моци Корбулона в 54-58 и 62 гг. н.э., и неудачный поход наместника Сирии - Галла на Иерусалим в 66-м, и, напротив, закончившийся успехом поход во время его войны с византийской державой и арабским халифатом. Из территории древнего чеченского аланского народа Чианти этрусков (цанар) империи Италии, готовый уже вернуться на свою Сирийскую базу Vl легион "железный", неожиданно перебрасывают в дунайскую Мёзию, где Vl легион "железный" на камне не оставляют от прорвавших легиона Героев. kzread.info/dash/bejne/mZyE0tKwcpyzgKQ.html

@@XIXCentury it is what it is, the etruscans spoke Uraltaic - Turkic, DNA studies show a whopping 98% match between the Turkish and the Etruscans and this study was undertaken by several Italian universities, the Turkish language has two main branches ; uralic( in reference to Ural mou rain range in Siberia), which is spoken by many of the nordics and European countries including Sweden and yes I know the Swedish language technicaly is German but it has so many (several thousand) Turkish words and uses the turcic runetic alphabet and the Turkic tengric belief system, hence Turkic names like ODIN, Thor, Hakan etc., When after the fall of troy, a party of trojans went back to the nordics and were received by the Swedish King Gyfyr, whom referred to them as Turcus and called them sons of Odin and said that his Turcus brethren had been living in center of the earth (in those days modern day Türkey was referred to as such in the nordics) and said that they had been tricked by a wooden horse and gave up his throne at once. Re:Swen Sturlesson Swen Lagerbring ( Lagerbring is an actual and a prominent historian and his works are far more comprehensive).

I will explain who they are exactly: The discovery of Tartessos has been one of the most important recent discoveries in Mediterranean archaeology, showing that the Tartessians were in many ways the equivalent of the Etruscans in Italy. So far they have only been known from a couple of obscure reference in Herodotos, but now archaeology is uncovering this remarkable civilisation, comparing Tartessos with the Etruscans. Both cultures are considered to be unknown mysteries, both languages are undicifered yet based on the Phoenician alphabet, AND both belonged to the same world's trade route of their Phoenician (Canaanites) partners: Tyre --> Tarsus --> Cartage --> Etruria --> Tartessos Tarshish is not just a name of one place, it is a nation, a greek sub-race of people, and all that proves that the people of Tarsus-anatolia, Etruscans of Italy & Corsica, and the Tartessians of south Spain, Gibraltar are in fact one people who gave their name to all 3 places: TARSHISH The geographer Strabo states that Tarsus was founded by people from Argos who were exploring this coast- another proof of Greek origins. Recent DNA research appears to show that at least part of the Etruscan population was related to people in Asia Minor, similar DNA tests on goats and cattle suggest Herodotus was right about Anatolian origins Old languages have called Etruscans by different names. The Romans calledthem Tursci or Etrusci. In Attic Greek they were called Tyrrhenians. The related name Teresh was used by the Egyptians, who also knew them as "Sea People" DNA analysis of Etruscan remains has revealed their links to northern Anatolia, whereTroy was located. The latest genetic finds in a few isolated towns in Tuscany have showncloser genetic ties to ancient Anatolia among the living population, unlike what is common in the rest of Italy. That points to their earlier home, before their coming to Italy. And since the Dardanoi derived their name from Dardanus (Dodanim), the founder of Dardania, an ancient city in the Troad, and Rule of the Troad was divided between Dardania and Troy + Homer makes a clear distinction between the Trojans and the Dardanoi- means that: Troy = Etruscan colony Dardania = Dorian colony -->2 sub-races of Greeks (Yavan) The root for Tarshish in the Semitic hebrew language of the bible is RSS, which quite resembles the name the Etruscans used for themselves: Rasana

tarsus and myrtle where the Etruscans lived. Today, the kurgans remaining from the Etruscans and many artistic masterpieces are exhibited in the city museum of Mersin. Tarsus is a very old, very important city. The name of tarsus is frequently mentioned in the Jewish narratives of the Early Christianity and Babylonian Exile. It is even said that the ark of the covenant is in Tarsus. but above all you should not ignore the fact that the Etruscans were actually one of the ancient Turkish peoples. Because they called themselves "children of asana" or turchi. The Italians, on the other hand, named Anatolia as turchia, the land of the Turks. The inscriptions in the Etruscan alphabet and the Orkhon monuments in Mongolia dated to the 4th century AD have the same alphabet and writing style. Contrary to the so-called European historians, it is very easy to read the Etruscan script and even to speak with the same voices for someone who can understand the old Turkish. written from right to left. The midas monument in the city of Eskisehir, Turkey, and the "man rocks" steles in the city of Mersin are also artifacts from the Etruscans. you should examine the "pazirik kurgan" and other ancient Turkish ruins with the same architectural and aesthetic understanding of the Turks living in Central Asia living in the same time period.
