The Etruscans
Who Were They?
A presentation by
Francesco Bonavita, Ph.D.
Who were the Etruscans? Come listen to Prof. Francesco Bonavita, a linguist, educator, lecturer and author talk about the people often labeled as enigmatic, gluttons, and bon vivants, but who supposedly gave us wine, love of music, and taught us to live life in style! Prof. Bonavita is a native of Rome and holds a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature.

I am Etruscan. I was born in Faenza near Bologna and my family comes from that area for many many centuries.
I really like the slow and mellow nature of the presenter. Every word is clearly audible and understood.
The Etrusticans are alive and well they walk amongst modern day Italians.
🇹🇷😉
No they do not. Many genetic studies have been done proving modern Italians have no genetic or cultural connection to the Etruscans.
@@Tu51ndBl4d3 Modern genetic studies seeking Etruscan roots involve dna testing on living locals of core ancient Etruscan areas in smaller towns in Tuscany, and comparing them with other living people in other regions of believed Etruscan origin, like Lydia, or the Black Sea, or Raetia, etc. It's not what you seem to be implying.
actually no, not italians. many studies show that the dna of the etruscan ppl are nearly the same with modern day anatolian turks'
@@trikebeatstrexnodiff So they are really Turks? :-)
Amazing! I am very thankful that the mysteries
of the Etruscans are finally being unveiled.
There is so much to learn from them.
They were way ahead of their time.
Yes we were 😏😏😏😏
Tomi one simple test of dna ,and this great mistery of who the etruscans were will be solved ,100 euros dna test ,I tried to listen a little those dinosaurs here ,and I admire their strength to cause the confusion over a society that had alphabet language and sivilisation ,surely they left historical origins and proof who etruscans were !!!
Speaking of "ahead of their time", I am extremely curious to know if there are any DNA connections between the Etruscans and the the builders of Göbekli Tepe and other such ancient sites in Turkey and Syria.
Prof. Bonavita, as you state (12:27) "every letter is a phoneme" and this phenomenon is peculiar to only one european language. I warmly recommend the book "Old European language and script of the Etruscans" by Svetislav Bilbija (if you find it in English).
You are right. This so called prof. do not want to see the reality as the history is involved in century. They were part of the big Illyrian family and you can explain they vocabulary only with old Albanian language. This so called prof is very romantic person, as all know the Albanian language is very difficult to learn and speak as he said by himself but can't understand that, poor man.
It was fairly recently discovered that Phoecian was based on Oriental.
@@ilirianromeoballa1756 no. We know Etruscan wasn’t Indo-European. That rules out Albanian. A promising idea is that it is related to some languages in the Caucasus area.
Svetislav Bilbija is one of those alternative history nuts and very little of what he writes makes any historical sense.
@@ilirianromeoballa1756 Albanian has the same status as Greek - it is in its own group but it's an Indo-European language, so broadly related to all the languages that surround it: Greek, Macedonian, Serbo-Croatian, Italian, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if some words came from Etruscan through trade, colonization etc. but that's not because Etruscans were some kind of proto-Etruscans, it's because they didn't live in isolation and were conquered by other peoples.
The urn at 38:00 looks like "yurt" from central asia.
🇮🇹A century ago, the scholar Massimo Pallottino introduced a revolutionary concept, capable of effectively explaining the birth of the Etruscan people, or rather of abandoning the idea by adopting a different concept: that of the formation of the Etruscans as we know them.
Profound changes characterized the Mediterranean at the end of the Bronze Age. Many Egyptian and Greek documents, for example, speak of mysterious peoples of the sea, travelers, with the custom of building land-based settlements for trade.
Probably the Etruscan culture (more than the Etruscans as a real people) was formed over time precisely in these exchanges between sea and land, enriching peoples who actually came from Lydia or similar areas with elements and diversity.
Certainly there is still a lot to discover, and despite Pallottine's idea, the "Etruscan mystery" still remains obscure.
Yeah but thevetruscan gold inscriptions showed they wrote in etruscan and phoenician in records. Lydia traces.. are they levantine?... probably philistine, Phoenician, isrealite in origin?? Thus the missing link in the assimilation of the alphabet? Lydia is turkey. Isrealite of that era are known to be in turkey as Aleppo was part of their land during that time.
In a recent DNA test I discovered I had 10% Etruscan DNA. Is this a fairly common occurrence? I'm from the Naples area originally.

Prof. Bonavita, grazie mile. What is the connection between the Vincha script and Etruscan letters? To my non-expert eyes they look the same. Also their houses and pottery look somewhat similar. Last but not list, why DNA tests are not done on their remains?
DNA disappears quickly after the tissue dies. I’m sure they’ve tried to test but probably nothing left.
DNA recently published, based on 100 individual Etruscan bones. Result: Etruscans were indigenous to Italian penninsula.
@@gailascari Could you share the references to this study? Most Italian are not Indigenous to Italy (R1b came from the Russian stepes, E from Africa, J from the Middle East). Only Indigenous European haplotype is I and the Vincans were mainly I too. I2 is very high in Sardinia too.
Unlike he says at 12:10, we DO know the sound of the phonemes because they are Greek letters! When names are written like Menerva and Aplu, we can actually sound out these names and apply this to all the other epigraphs. Only 2 graphimes are not clear, the san and the sigma (our letter S).
Who is exactly Francesco Bonavita? I've studied Etruscology at the university and Francesco Bonavita is never mentioned in the academic studies as an etruscologist.
Haha

Thank you , lots of details to get to know the Etruscan.
According to the Greek Historian Herodot, Etruscans have emigrated to Italy from the kingdom of Lydia in Western Turkey because of bad weather conditions. Lydia people were not greek. Their roots depand on Kut/Subar/Turukku people in Eastern Turkey and Western Iran. They were prototurks. According to the Urmu Theory, Turks have spread all over the world from the area around the lake Urmu in the middle east. Many of them have gone to sybiria and central asia, some of them have been living in the Iran and Turkey, and some of them have gone to the west. Etruscans come from the prototurks who have prefered to go to the west. The cultur of kurgan (timulus) refer to only ancient Turks all over the world as in the Etruscans. Their alphabet is very simmilar to Göktürk alphabets of Turks. Their rasenna is corresponding to Turks' Asena which is a female wolf. Wolf is still a symbol of nationalist Turks in Turkey at present. Also, it is sure that etruscans' language is not classified in indo-european language family as Turkish language. One more point, the words "etrusk" and "turk" are fonetically simmilar to eachother. Finally, Etruscans and Turks most probably have same roots.
Also they have a point common with albanians that etruscans-toskans-toskë ( toskë second largest accent in albania ) also known south albania toskëria north ghegëria .
turkish are mongolian
First off, Turks do not originate from Anatolia. They are not present before the 11th century. Secondly, genetic research has shown the Etruscans to be native to Italy.

Culturally, I think the romans became Etruscan. The language of the Truschi was changed to Latin. The etruscan clothes, food, music imposed itself on Rome. Think pizza that is the flat bread of the Etruscan. They show up in the Odyssey as pirates. They made the famous goldwork and glass that is still popular today. They were master cosmetologists. The makeup styles are popular today.
The relations of the Etruscans with the Sumerians should be investigated
yes, in line with an origin from Lydia etc. DNA evidence says this is true
well i think your right
Sümerlerin dili Macarlar,Finler ve Türkler gibi eklemeli dildir.
🇮🇹A fair number of Etruscan words had entered the lexicon of the Latin language, some of which destined for an illustrious and fortunate future such as atrium, favissa, fullo, histrio, lanista, mantissa, miles, mundus, persona, populus, radius, satelles, subulo , etc. Well, it is evident and logical that for us moderns it is possible to deepen to some extent our knowledge of the Etruscan language also by referring to the lexical and toponymic and even phonetic relics that have been preserved to us by the Tuscan dialects, by some Italian dialects and above all by the Latin language.
Indeed, if we refer chiefly to some of the aforementioned Etruscan names, which were pregnant with considerable cultural values, such as miles, mundus, persona, populus, radius, satelles and which entered the Latin language first and later in the neo-Latin languages and even in some important Germanic languages, such as English and German, the legitimate conclusion can be drawn that, albeit to a very modest extent, the Etruscan language has not completely disappeared, but is still operating in today's world culture framework. Some of those words "circulate" still throughout the terrestrial planet and in particular the word satellite "revolves" around it also in a concrete sense, that is physical-astral.
The Etruscan language is gone, only some words exist.

Victor Baraga sounds fascinating.
Etruscan call themselves rassena. Asena is name in turkey, and it means son of female wolf.
Turan is goddes in etruscan myth and Turan means union of Turks in Turkey.
Tinia (Tin) is Etruscan god, din means religion in Turkey and also tingri ( nowadays tanrı) means god in Turkey.
There are lots of example of similarities.
latin alphabet ( etruscan alphabet) is very suitable for Turkish wovel harmony.
Turkish is read how its written with that alphabet.
Every letter is a sound in Turkish language.
Latin call etruscan as tusci and we are turki.
They were proto Turks.
Romantic but no evidence for that. Most probably tottaly uncorrect
i add few similarities bro.
They came from "Tur"oya
Most of their statues have turanid phenotype and Altaic hairstyle. If you cannot find that hairstlye search it as seljuk sultans for example.
As i know their Y-DNA are mostly R1a-z93
The Turkic peoples where no where near Anatolia at the time of the Etruscans. They were far far off in Central Asia. Your theory is nonsense.
Can't go for those similarities. Even if etruscans came from Anatolia, at that time turkic peoples were far away from there.
@@BOIOLA08 check the spread of r1a-z94. they came from BMAC to Anatolia. During that historical migration between Anatolia and BMAC. we see a short term kingdom near Zagros >>>Turukkaeans. and dont miss the migration of r1a-z94 to sumerian region. of course i dont say that they were all turks but we cannot ignore the language,culture and genetic similarities.
Italians should stand with all against revisionism as statues are toppled.
The discovery of the first dental prosthesis dates to the third and fourth millennium BC; that is at least 6,000 years ago. It is in the tombs of ancient Tanagra, city of ancient Greece (Boeotia) famous for the legend of Oedipus as well as for its terracotta figurines that this discovery took place.
🇮🇹Albanian is an Indo-European and Balkan language.
Etruscan is an indigenous Tyrrhenian language.
Moreover, in no place where the Etruscans have ever been there have never been Albanians. There are many Etruscan words passed into Latin and from there to modern languages. But Etruscan has nothing to do with any Indo-European language.
Then no people were as isolated as one might think, some words traveled with trade and therefore will be common in several languages.
Much of the confusion surrounding Albanian origin is rooted in the Albanian language. Albanians have always been a bit "weird" in the sense that they are a non-Slavic, non-Roman and non-Greek people living in an area known as the crossroads of Europe for a reason.
The Albanian language is an independent branch of the Indo-European language family. Only three languages in the Indo-European language tree make up isolated languages - including Armenian and Greek, as well as Albanian.
This means that: While Albanian is somewhat related to all Indo-European languages, it has no closest relatives, as the Germanic or Slavic languages have to each other. It is simply the last surviving member of a largely extinct branch of Indo-European, the Balkan branch.
Almost 60% of the Albanian vocabulary consists of vulgar Latin words borrowed from the Roman period in the Balkans. Albanians did not migrate to the Balkans after Roman rule, as Latin loans prove the Albanian presence in the area. Add to this a dozen ancient Doric Greek loans, dated around 700 BC. (approximate date of foundation of the Doric colony of Epidamnus - known today as Durres - in Albania).
Now add a linguistically interesting connection between Romanian and Albanian (and other Eastern Romance languages, such as Dalmatian): Albanian and Romanian now share up to 150 non-Latin words, indicating Albanian-Romanian contact before the arrival of the Slavs (or even the Romans).
Who were the Illyrians?
The Illyrians were an Indo-European people who inhabited the Western Balkans in an area called "Illyria" by the ancient Greeks and "Illyricum" by the Romans. To this day, no one knows whether the Illyrians were a homogeneous ethnic group or whether they were made up of heterogeneous tribes who spoke different but related languages (which is more likely). Some even think that the Illyrians were a group defined regionally, rather than linguistically or ethnically - since all the peoples of ancient Illyria were referred to by the classicizing name of "Illyrian", including Thracian tribes such as the Bryge, probably tribe Italo-Celtic such as the Veneti, or Celtic peoples who arrived in the area from the 4th century BC
The Proto-Illyrians migrated to the Balkans when they formed the eastern Hallstatt culture in Central-Southern Europe in the Late Bronze Age. In the Balkans, they intermingled with pre-Indo-European Neolithic peoples, forming the Illyrians we know - a history similar to that of the Mycenaean Greeks, for example.
The Albanians are almost certainly descended from a tribe that was called "Illyrian" by the Romans and Greeks. But how close they were to other Illyrian peoples is a mystery.
Recent research uniformly agrees that Albanians probably did not originate near the modern Adriatic or Ionian coasts. These areas were, in large part, inhabited by Illyrians, but not by the specific Illyrian tribe from which the Albanians evolved.
The Albanians, according to Malcolm, Hamp, Slocum, Wilkes, Orel, Elsie and Schramm, to name a few, were Romanized in the area between modern North Albania, South Serbia, Western Romania and North Macedonia, corresponding to the ancient area of Dardania. One point in support of this is that, according to Matzinger, the city names of "Nis" (Nish) in South Serbia, "Stip" in North Macedonia, "Skopje" in North Macedonia and "Vucitrn / Vushtrri" in Kosovo have been adopted. in their Slavic forms following the Albanian phonetic rules - strongly implying the presence of the Albanian language in the area during the arrival of the Slavs.
This is the only area that would explain both the linguistic contact with Proto-Romans, the partial Romanization of Albanian through both Western and Eastern Romance Vulgar Latin, and the relative lack of Late Antiquity Greek loanwords into Albanian. The Balkans, during the Roman rule, were divided into two areas by the so-called "Jirecek line". Latin was spoken north of the Jirecek line, Greek was spoken south of the line. The line passed through modern Albania, along the Shkumbin River, and is probably what caused the division of the Albanian Tosk-Gheg dialect in the 5th century.
If Albanians originated in southern Albania, most of the Albanian vocabulary would be Greek. Still, 60% are Latin, showing that Albanians are originally from the north of the line, in the area mentioned above.
Concluding:
A southern Illyrian tribe in ancient Dardania avoided complete Romanization in the Dardania Mountains through a pastoral, semi-nomadic lifestyle and geographic isolation (similar to how the Basques and Welsh avoided Romanization). During this period, contact with Romanized Illyrians and Thracians (Vlachs), as well as the lingua franca Latin north of the Jirecek line, led to Albanian being partially Romanized.
During the Roman era, some of the proto-Albanians settled in the plains near Kruja in Albania, adopting the name "Arbanoi" (Latin: Albanoi) which means "inhabitants of the plains" ("Arberor", the Albanian endonym until to the 18th century) as opposed to "montanari" (meaning "Malesor"). At the time of the Slavic migration, most of the Illyrians, Vlacos and Romanized Albanians were assimilated, leading to a genetic bottleneck that is well documented among the Albanians around 1500 years ago - only very few Albanians survived the Slavic migrations, leading to a founding effect and today's genetic homogeneity of the Albanians.
You really made a great effort not to write all this, but Albanians as an ethnic group came to Europe and the Balkans only in the 11th century AD, and as a nation they were created by Austria at the end of the 19th century.
You 're very wrong in repeating that etruscan is not an indoeuropean language and albanian a branch apart.These ideas are out of date and are a product of roman hegemony.I don't know where have you found that 60% of albanian is latin.The serbs like this one commenting here pretend that the albanian is 90% slav.If we ad influences by turkish,greek and others the albanian results a patchwork. It means that albanians are asimilated completely and that's very stupid.The albanians are the only who resisted to the latin,greek, slav and turk assimilation.You have no idea what the albanian people,language and culture is.
@Funny Planet ha ha ha ha aha ha ha
@@pranveraohri1204 The original comment is absolutely correct about placing Etruscan as a Pre-Indo-European language. If you want to make claims of genetic origin you don't necessarily need to rely on linguistics: if Albanians indeed are descendants of Etruscans, it would be easy to prove. Alas, it has not been proven, because they are not. I feel like every small nation in the Balkans has some outrageous and bizarre claim to fame, whether it's Macedonians thinking they are descendants of Alexander the Great or Serbs who think they come from the Vinča culture or Romanians who are under the delusion that they come from some pre-Indo-European tribes, etc. I guess when you come from a small culture unknown to others and in eternal rivalry with those around you, you have to make up myths to feel good about yourself. It's like some kind of internalized colonialist paternalism. But my Gods, isn't it easier to make up myths that are tough to debunk?
Here is the Etruscan text very inconvenient for western science because Etruscan texts prove that Etruscans were Slavic people. Anyway, they called themselves Raseni (Russians normally pronounce O and U as A) and today we have Slavic nation called Rusini. Besides, take a look at this Etruscan text that any Slavic native can easily recognize to be Slavic and understand 30 - 40 percent. Especially Polish and Slovak people. Here is the text.
Reski ves Bog, vysh Vima i Dima, Yezmenyu Rasiyei,
Im-zhe opetse (moi) dom i detses, lepeyen Yezmen!
Yekatezin dalechim; do dolu zem poyezheyu;

Sideyiz s Ladoim v Yelishom, Leyti poymez, zabyvlayez;

This was original Etruscan
Now the translation :

With the recent excavations and archeological work being done in Turkey and Syria, it would be interesting and possibly useful to attempt to determine if there are DNA connections between the Etruscans and the innovative ancient builders at those sites.

In fact there are many etruskians words that have meaning in albanian.

@jackholler3572, That’s ridiculous. At the time of the Etruscans the Turkic peoples were all the way over in Central Asia.
The Romans not only take everything over from the Etruscans, but they are also completely merged with them! It follows logically that many Romans were Etruscan descendants themselves! Besides the Latin and Sabin tribes of Rome, they were direct ancestors of the ancient Romans!
but they were to different worlds, i think they merged materialistically but they shunned the freedoms afforded to women and the sexual natury of non monogamous etruscan society.. that seemed to be to alien for Romans to adopt .. it shows that Etruscan may come from a different religious lineage then the romans historically although they shared some aspects ..Etruscans may very well be the last arm of the mother godess religion that lived in minoan crete and propabley was exported all around by them.. Romans did alot of good in terms of advancing achetecture but they didnt adequately merge the hunger for art and religiosity that etruscans had ... Its crazyhow the victors write history...

Wonder if Etruscan and Hattic languages are related.
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

turks were wild arabs that just took and assimilated byzantine with its territory, culture and science. if etruscans have turkish(arabian) genes it doesn't mean they were turks. their white dna came from russia and they were initially slavs that gathered more other genes while moving south and creating the middle eastern civilization. also turks invaded crimea and other southern slav territories many times, capturing slaves etc., no wonder people from there have some genes from them
Etruscans (Brygy or Phrygy )are Troyans who migrated from Phrygija after fall of Troy .The central figure of the "Aeneid," an epic written by the classical Roman poet Virgil.

idk linguistically but many studies show that etruscan ppl's dna is nearly the same with today's anatolian turks' dna
Procas, king of the Albanians, had two sons, Amulius and Numitor, to whom he left the throne with the intention of taking it on an annual basis [so that they would have ruled alternately]. But Amulius did not cede power to his brother, but even tried to deprive him of his offspring by making his daughter Rhea Silvia high priestess of Vesta, thereby destining her to eternal celibacy. Meanwhile, Rhea Silvia became from Mars mother and gave birth to Romulus and Remus. The two brothers founded Rome.
Were Etrusken maybe the Pelasgians (Illyrians), ancestors of Albanians?
A study published in Science Magazine 2023 proves the antiquity of the Albanian language, which is much earlier than the Greek and Armenian languages > 8000 years old.
Albanian language can descipfer the ancient symbols and other languages. (The mesianic role of the Albanian language by Petro Zheji)
I was listen a video previously and the guy in that video says something in etruscan, I even comment It sounds for me as turkish.
The Romans erased the Carthaginians, is it far fetched to consider the same for the Etruscans?
Everybody came from the Anatolia region, well , everyone except the Turks ;)
Their language is based on Mongolian, nothing to do with Greek or Anatolia.
Wolinski translated Etruscan language and pope wanted him dead.As far as I remember Russian protected him.
Those romans were always ready to throw malicious and untrue insults at anyone who was not Roman !
The DNA has been done....Lydian origin seems to be true
Post the evidence
I've only seen evidence of them being indigenous to Tuscany/Etruria
@@tremblence … that would smash all the theories we’ve heard and read so far. I don’t remember the guy’s name, but he is a respected German etruscologists,and he claims that Etruscans are indigenous to the Italian peninsula. I know I’m going to get hammered….🙄
how bout all three theories at once - elites in Etruscan society dominated local tribes (venetian? and others) they are at core part of older migration 5000 BC and reappropriated buildings and cultural area - this origin culture is Illyrian(Vinca) but the time horizon is sooo large, the Inca ARE a similar illusion, as are the Aztecs
Aloha, DNA Stonehenge builders time DNA inconclusive, but some DNA of Turkey Peoples, ah, truant professors maybe, from gathering universities Gobekli Tepe & more, originally Atlantis, Italy, Sardinia, Turkey, old DNA mix potential... One history note 5000 km, equals Turkey to my guess site, underwater & above water, Atlantis 13,000 or 200,000 yrs. Ago... 1200 sq miles & west desert now Africa... Erin ... Maybe Etruscans to?

This is connected to Albanian language .
Seems as the Asiatic types people's of Uralic -; Altaic influence in the Italian peninsula before the Indo- European Latins .
The majority of Etruscan words are ancient Turkic... they were Turanian
That's a highly eccentric point of view. Any evidence or sources?
@Neo it's Romulus and Remus.
@@johnrohde5510 the studies show that the dna of the etruscan ppl are nearly the same with modern day anatolian turks' dna. also in the Roman and Turkic mythology, there is a story that is so similiar, people say the reason is the etruscan ppl when they migrated to Italy. Also both Italy's and Turkey's national animal is wolf, again, because of that mythology
@@trikebeatstrexnodiff the similarity in DNA is due to the Neolithic farmers who migrated throughout Europe long before any Turks had come to Anatolia from the the Altai region.
The wolf-suckled myth is also a part of the myth of Mongolian ethnogenesis and there is no close DNA correspondence between them and Etruscans or Anatolians before the Turkic invasion.
@@johnrohde5510 firstly; the turks (all of the turkic people) first appeared in history in Siberia; not Altai mountains! Ofc, from Siberia, they migrated to Northern China, then Altai, Middle East and Eastern Europe but Anatolian Turks nearly do not have any Turkic dna. The reason is when the Seljuk Turks came to Anatolia, they got mixed with the Native Anatolians, thus leading to a point in which both the Etruscan people and Siberian Turks are relative to Anatolian Turks.

1:16:07 he sees pic of 4 dark guys and speeds past it." I know im running out of time". Takes 10 years to talk about every thing else.
those black guys tell the whole story
What part of pale pink skin looks dark to you?? I suggest you pause the video and look again. There are thousands of Etruscan murals, and none of them depict anybody darker than a normal Italian today.
@@moemuggy4971 it depends on when the mural was depicted...you cannot erase Black presence in Europe...keep researching
@@drkrobinson what are you on about?? The mural clearly depicts caucasoids.
@@drkrobinson And Nooo, there were no Sub-Saharan blacks in Europe until modern times. To say differently is just ignorant. We have evidence across multiple disciplines, like archaeological remains, DNA evidence, and oral tradition to say otherwise. Sorry, but blacks have not contributed anything to European history north of the Sahara for at least 50,000 years.. Fact!
Stop trying to steal our history.
Professor why don't you say the truth to people and combine the Etruscan language with you know which one. Your so beloved neighbours or not so. Albanians. You can decifer the Etruscian enscript from Geg Albanian language
Italy is a group of people from the middle East, Anatolia and Greece
Seems as if we know more about the world then .than now .knowledge is golden .we need to free the main stream media from all of those that hide from the truth
@CasaItalianaNYU very interesting civilization they are. Their language is not Indo-European and according to Heredotus their roots coming from Anatolia. But even if they came from Anatolia; those times there may have Indo-European language. So is there a chance they are Turkic and their language Uralic?

Etruscans are today Albanians !!! Albanian language it is the only language in the world who can translate every word of Etruscan language !!!!
They are ProtoTurkic Turanian Anatolian people both geneticaly and linguisticalliy
hightime,hidden truths come out...etruscans are only one...👍🍀thank u for the lecture,...surely they must have given much to ancient greeks...as for the culture(art)...very much like anatolian hittites...as for the language family...ural altaic...
ancient Slavik-Serbian-Russian people 😊
no, many studies show that the dna of the etruscan ppl are nearly the same with modern day anatolian turks' dna
@@trikebeatstrexnodiff not Turkish, Slavik. Etruscans were Slavik.
@@george3697 nope. they didnt even speak an indo-european language, they spoke an agglutinative language, just like Turkish and Japanese. also they were the ones who brought the turkic mythological story of the birth-giving wolf to the Romans, and also they are the reason as to why both Italy's and Turkey's national animal is wolf. At school in Italy, they even teach them the Turkishness of the Etrucans. And on top of these; the dna results are one of the biggest evidence^^
@@trikebeatstrexnodiff you are simply missguided to some fake theories. That's fine. 😁 have a good one.
@@george3697 ahem; anything to say to make me dis-prove? or make you do prove? even there are people saying etruscans were black, do you think people have the time to believe in such rubbish things "etruscans were slavic/etruscans were black" honestly what do you even smoke?
the intro music to this is annoying.
Etruscans ar maybi troy pippol from war in 1500 bc or de hittade pippol.
@Danijel Kendaswastika also
Etruscan or Etrusket( in Albanian) are most likely from Pelasgians ancestors, which Illyrians come from and today Albanians.
I can easily understand Etruscan language. If I can read their writing and no other language can lighten a meaning they must be a tribe of Illyrians.
Please watch the video below with Etruscan Words and their connections with Albanian Dialects

Ethruscan language decoded professor Radivoje Pesic from Belgrade - Serbia.
Greek alphabet, Greek style in statues / tombs / murals / vases, Greek gods, close contacts with the Aegean [purely Greek sea]. How "unknown" is their origin?
bir gün yunanlılar da bizden çıkacak kardeş :D
The modern historian called the Greek civilization that is wrong to named that way. The Greek is by itself newer that the language spoken by natives in that land. The Greek term is used later by Cesar and after the land took that name. They were Athenians, Spartans, Peloponnesian and other territory was called total different as this pseudo professor pretend, very poor and losing time but I needed to listen something at the end I am outraged what I heard and everyone knows that the reality is not what he is describing.
Very their language is absolutely nothing like greek in fact it seems to be pre indo european, similar to basque, older than even greek
It seems Etrusceans closely related to Trojans.
@@xerxen100 both spoke Uraltaic Turkic
Greek history is completely wrong.
There is no such thing as the Greek nation in 500 BC.
They stole the Libraries of Egypt and the Middle East.
Greek mythology is not taught in schools in Japan
because nonsense ..
Sumerians, scythians and Etruscans are Turks
The Persian ownership of the scythians is definitely the German aryan game.
They stole our history in Anatolia
They exhibit at the Berlin museum..
The queen of Scythian Tomris khatun killed the Persian king.(Kyros)
Hun Emperor Atilla wanted to conquer the country of the Etruscans.
The epic of creation of Turks is the same as Romus and Romulus epic of Roman brothers.
The name of the Turkish kagans is Tarkan=Targuin....Rasenna=Asena(She wolf)
Later, Latinos took control of the Roma.
In 1453, the last castle took back the Roman empire, the Turkish king Fatih Sultan Mehmet.

Etruscan people have emigrated to Italy from Lydia Kingdom in Western Turkey as famous Greek Historian Herodot said. Etruscans were not Greek, they were Lydian people who were related to prototurks.
@@nurettinsarul sources of what you saying? A confirmation from science community about what you saying? No of course not.... By the way Etruscans used Greek alphabet (euboian alphabet). Until now science community can't connect Etruscans with Greeks, Italians, etc . Scientists can't connect Etruscans with any nation so how you saying that they are proto Turks
@@riakirki8006 According to the Greek Historian Herodot, Etruscans have emigrated to Italy from the kingdom of Lydia in Western Turkey because of bad weather conditions. Lydia people were not greek. Their roots depand on Kut/Subar/Turukku people in Eastern Turkey and Western Iran. They were prototurks. According to the Urmu Theory, Turks have spread all over the world from the area around the lake Urmu in the middle east. Many of them have gone to sybiria and central asia, some of them have been living in the Iran and Turkey, and some of them have gone to the west. Etruscans come from the prototurks who have prefered to go to the west. The cultur of kurgan (timulus) refer to only ancient Turks all over the world as in the Etruscans. Their alphabet is very simmilar to Göktürk alphabets of Turks. Their rasenna is corresponding to Turks' Asena which is a female wolf. Wolf is still a symbol of nationalist Turks in Turkey at present. Also, it is sure that etruscans' language is not classified in indo-european language family as Turkish language. One more point, the words "etrusk" and "turk" are fonetically simmilar to eachother. Finally, Etruscans and Turks most probably have same roots.
@@nurettinsarul This is just your opinion ... Without any scientific research without a single source about what you saying.
So according to Herodotus people came to Italy from Lybia and Asia Minor? Wow, that makes absolutely no sense... Except it does, because Herodotus thought Lybia was basically the whole of North Africa and that Asia was everything east of the Aegan Sea... 🤣
LYDIA
Etruscans were ruski. They called themselves Rasena which is Rasia, Rasiane and they came from Russia before some disaster, maybe flood or climate change. Later they collect 75% of different DNA from Southern Europe, Middle East and Northern Africa before they created the Roman Empire. Also there was no the Ancient Greece, it was just a part of the Etruscan empire and no original texts of Platon, Herodotes and other Greek scientists came to us.
Who were They? Just the bane of Tom Curry's existence 🥳🍹
sea peoples so Luwians
No sense
wow,almost nothing Etruscan,speech or visual
My God he has phd 🤦♂️
if You want to know language and writings, ask Serbians to translate. My fellow countrymen make it look easy to recognize the words and symbols
how would you know carpathian you were brought by Byzantine lords in the 1300 even your name was given to you by the originals se arb
Your countrymen are for sure kosovars, albanians. That's why theu can translate and ypu not
The Etruscans called themselves RASENI! In the Middle Ages, Serbs were called Rasci or Rašani. In Serbia, the entire district is called Raška and the river Rasina. The old medieval city is called Ras!
tip: Rassia
I SAW NOW FOR FIRST TIME THIS VIDEO AND ITS VERY INTERESTING. ACCORDING TO THE PRESENTATION OF MR BONAVITA, I WOULD LOVE TO LET SOME OF MY THOUGHTS HERE. THE ETRUSCANS AS WELL SAID HAD NO SIMILITARITIES WITH ROMANS OR GREEKS, WHICH IT MAKES IT VERY INTERESTING BECAUSE FROM MY COMMON SENSE I FOUND SOME SIMILARITIES WITH THE ILLYRIANS. THE FIRST THING I NOTICED IS THAT THE WOMEN WERE ALSO ACTIV IN LEADERSHIP. IN THAT AREA WERE ETRUSCANS SEEMED TO HAVE APPEARED, THE ONLY TRIBE HAVING WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP WAS THE ILLYRIANS. TEUTA THE QUEEN AND AGRON THE KING OF ILLYRIA IS A GREAT EVIDENCE OF THAT. MY SECOND MOVE AFTER THAT WAS TO GOOGLE A PICTURE OF QUEEN TEUTA WONDERING OF A SAME APPEARENCE AS A ETRUSCAN WOMAN. IT IS UNBELIEVABLE HOW SIMILAR THEY LOOK. THAT MADE TO BE MUCH MORE CONCENTRATED ON THIS VIDEO. THE FIRST FLAG OF ILLYRIA OR ILLYRICUM IS A SINGLE STAR INTO A MOON( KIND OF LIKE THE TURKISH FLAG NOW BUT WITH ONLY ONE STAR) AND ALSO NAME ILLYRIA IN ALBANIAN MEANS ILL=STAR & YRIA=ENTRANCE. IF YOU PAY ATTENTION AT JEWELLERY OR THE DRAWINGS YOU WILL SEE THAT SYMBOLISMUS PRETY OFTEN. SOME OTHER COMMONS OF ILLYRIANS( WHO WERE APPEARED LATER) AND ETRUSCANS ARE THEIR LATER GOD BELIEF TO THE APOLLON. IN ALBANIA OF TODAY THERE IS A WHOLE ANCIENT ILLYRIAN CITY CALLED APOLLONI. IT WOULD BE INTERESTING IF THOSE THINGS HAVE ANY CONNECTION WITH EACH OTHER. I AM NOT AN ARCHEOLOGIST OR ON A EXPERT ON THE SUBJECT. I SPEAK ALBANIAN AND GREEK AND I KNOW SOME OF THEIR HISTORY AND THAT WAS SOME THOUGHTS OF WHAT HERE WATCHED. I HOPE I HELPED THE SCIENCE 😂. PEACE ✌
Rasenna as in Raška.

Shame on you, you now nothing before Roman Empire ?
after the Trojan War DARDANS from DARDANELL Sea People spred averywhere ( dodona, epir, butrint, Kalabria, Sicily, Malta, Egypt ) after 300 years become Etroscans, Liburni, Ligurni, Volci, Umbrians, Mesapet, Sicily, Kalabria, greeks were Pellazg (sea people) before become Greeks. Latin Language is 100% DARDAN today ALBANIAN. the same language still today 21C.
So we are who had Albanian Alphabet 500 years before everyone else, we made Roman Republic , SENAT , Roman Empire we made Western World =
Celts Gauls Normans they all speak Goths language, has its roots from Illyrian Peninsula Albanian.
После уничтожения территории древнего чеченской арийского народа республики (sassaniden reich) византийской державы и арабский халифат войска двинулись на территорию древнего чеченского аланского народа Чианти этрусков (цанар) империи. Этот факт упоминается у арабского халифата историка ал-Масуди о территории древнего чеченского аланского народа Чианти этрусков (цанар) империи - прямые потомки Алан в (Византийских документах они как Цанар), одной их самых славных частей элл нахов (алан) круга племен и народов. Зимой 853 года на территории древнего чеченского аланского народа Чианти этрусков (цанар) империи совершили самое великое деяние в своей истории. На южных склонах Большого Кавказа, у горловины Дарьяльского ущелья, они сначала остановили и затем наголову разбили 120 тысячную армию Багдадского арабского халифа, вторгшуюся в Закавказье. Об этой войне, об этой победе и о происхождении Чианти этрусков (цанар) пишет.Знаменитый арабского халифата ученый-энциклопедист ал-Масуди в книге «Мурудж аз-захаб» («Золотые истоки»), написанной в 20-30-е годы X века, приводит такие сведения: «между приграничной областью г.

Just going thru comments here. Try learning the Albanian language if you want to gain knowledge of the past, etruscan writting are pure Albanian. Albanian is the oldest living language today. Dont take my word for it. Do your own research. Look up Albanian words and than look up all latin and the socalled greek. All made up from Old Albanian/illyro-pellasgian lang.
🤪🤪 so if Etruscan were albanians ancestors how you explain that they had the ability to write in their language but albanians couldn't scratch a single word before 1460AD?
@Albano Mena 😂 yes sure ... Can you send me a single university from all over the world taught that Albanian language is ancient etc? Not even in albanian universities taught what you saying
@Albano Mena are you imagine University in that UA-cam video? 😂
@Albano Mena what you saying is just your opinion. There is no confirmation from science community about albanian language is ancient (you know that in every University there are courses degrees etc about ancient languages like latin, Egyptian Chinese Greek etc but never for albanian language) there are no carved ancient marbles in albanian language, artifacts in museums that archaeoligists saying that are ancienr albanian , there are no mentions,refers from ancient Historians, geographers, philosophers, etc to albanians culture language etc . So how you saying that Albanian language is ancient?
@Albano Mena your albanian imagination create things that don't exist. 1) there are no finds in Pelasgian language how you compare your language or any other language without words 😂😂😂? 2) finds in illyrian language are only 100 words (names and toponyms) and not even Linguists can made a conclusion about if all illyrian tribes spoke & wrote in a common/same language 3)by the way the only conclusion that lingusts made about illyrian language is that they wrote with greek alphabet & about Etruscan language conclusion is that Etruscan language is NOT Indo-European language written with euboian alphabet (a greek alphabet) so how albanian language (that is Indo-European language) connect with a non Indo-European language 😂😂 ? 4)About albanians in south italy (Arberesh ) is well documented that they went there(south italy) at 18-19centuryAD 😂😂. 5) there is not even a DNA research about illyrian DNA because there are no finds of illyrian DNA 😂😂😂 6) illyrians were famous pirates navalpeople etc but albanians don't even have a single word to describe sea or navigation, maritime terms, shipping building traditions etc 😂😂😂. 7) first refer to albanians in historical books was at 11centuryAD even after Slavs (6centuryAD) . 8) Albanians had alphabet at 1460AD and until 1555AD we can't find a single book written in albanian language. 9) there is no albanian DNA in science like Italian/greek DNA etc. 10)not even in albanian universities taught that your language is ancient or not even in your museums exist an ancient thing (marble,statue etc) archaeoligists saying under it (on explaination epigraphs) that is ancient albanian (you can find Roman, Greek statues artifacts even ancient cities etc in Albania but not even one ancient Albanian rock 😂😂😂. So conclusion about Albanians is that they just saying bullshits...
