A. The present day notion that there is a "mystery" regarding the Etruscan language is fundamentally erroneous; there exists no problem of decipherment, as is often wrongly asserted. The Etruscan texts are largely legible. The real problem with the Etruscan texts lies in the difficulty we have in understanding the exact meaning of the words and grammatical forms. A fundamental obstacle stems from the fact that no other known language has close enough kinship to Etruscan to allow a reliable, comprehensive, and conclusive comparison. The apparent isolation of the Etruscan language had already been noted by the ancients; it is confirmed by repeated and vain attempts of some to assign it to one of the various linguistic groups or types of the… [cont.]

A. Hello JK, West Africa is notorious for so many scams these days. I personally would not send the money, ask them to fax you a copy of the original document, then get in contact with the Embassy to verify the claim. If they are genuine, there will not be any problems, but most likely they will give some lame reason or excuse why they are unable to send the document.

They either had lots of money,… [cont.]

A. Though question, try looking for these: 1) Sorano (small village in Tuscany, plenty of Etruscan tombs) 2) Pitigliano (same as above) 3) Ostia Antica (Roman/Etruscan city outside of Rome, "antica" means "the old" so Ostia Antica is Ostia the old as opposed to Ostia, a small city currently inhabited) 4) Tarquinia and "Necropoli di Tarquinia" (yet another example of Etruscan city where the old and the new coexist) 5) Etruria (ruins of old Etruscan city) A few minutes of searching for text and photos with these 5 pointers and you should get more than you ever wanted to know about Etruscan structures.
