| | CRITIQUE :: The Etruscans |
| | The Etruscans were not as mysterious as we had been led to believe. | | | Despite the halo of legend surrounding the powerful Etruscan king, his exploits have been well documented by many historians and writers near to him in time and spirit. | | | However that may be, in 1767 the historian Monsignor Mario Guarnacci in his Origini Italiche claimed the Etruscans’ artistic superiority over the Greeks. |

| | Origins of the Runes |
| | Most Etruscan inscriptions are written in horizontal lines from left to right, but some are boustrophedon (running alternately left to right then right to left). | | | Fragments of a Etruscan book made of linen have also been found. | | | Hungarian runes were usually written on sticks in boustrophedon style (alternating direction right to left then left to right). |

| | Etruscan Language |
| | 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 Mediterranean and Eurasian world. | | | A third language, Camunic, sparsely recorded in NW Italy and written in the Etruscan alphabet, may possibly also have been related, but the evidence is too sparse to allow any safe conclusions. | | | Lemnian, recorded on the island of Lemnos, also appears to have been related to Etruscan. |

| | While the cause of Etruscan migration from Lydia to Italy is very difficult to determine, the fact that Herodotus himself was born in Asia Minor, give some hope that there is some truth in his writings. | | | Greek historian Herodotus wrote that Etruscan were Lydians, who immigrated to Italy from Asia Minor. | | | Based on the present decipherment, the ancient Lydian language appears to be indentical to Etruscan, which survives as the present-day Ukrainian. |
