    Was there in 2018. I ran out of power using my phone camera taking pictures of each artifact displayed. Once in a lifetime opportunity but I should return in the near future 👍🏼. This was my culminating Etruscan experience after having visited the cities of Volterra and Populonia in the same trip.

    If anyone is concerned about crowds, this is the museum to visit. Even in high season there aren't many people there which is sad because the collection is incredible, vast and very well organized plus the setting, the villa itself, is stunning.

    It seems odd that the narrator is using mostly Roman names for gods and goddesses that existed long before Rome. Please use the proper Etruscan names especially if you’re standing in an Etruscan museum.

    etruscans > latins
    European Union values come from Etruscan values, not Latin or Greek.
    Also the reason why the renaissance and reform movements started in Florence is not the immigrants from Constantinople, but the descendants of the Etruscans.

    You are holding in your hands one of the burial vessels, in which the soul was before ascension to heaven. A naked man is depicted on the vessel - this is a new celestial body, the wings indicate a soul in a new body, because a bird serves as the image of the soul.

    Etruscans were a branch of the indo aryan Lydians neo hittites who are the Hittites who came from ancient Anatolia. They were 100% not European Caucasians. They were mixed with the dravidians of the West who are original Mediterranean and Sumerian people who are canaanites. They were fair and dark

      Etruscans and Minoans were branches of the indo aryan lydians who are the Neo hittites who are the Hittites. They were certainly not white Europeans. " oh but Italians are blonde and blue eyes" umm Germanic tribes settled in Italy and that was about the time of Atila the Hun

    I'm hesitant to accept the "Mainstream Academics/Archaeologists" narrative, however, I appreciate the abundant art, and the fact known details associated with the Indigenous Etruscans, the more origunal Italians. (Roman, their own History written History, I would estimate as a True/Untrue ratio: 35%/65% and what they wrote about others a 10%/90%I.
    The values of Genetic l/DNA Testing are proceless towards clarifying ancient peoples and ligrations.
    The Etruscans are Proceless to History.
