Email this post to a friend! Message: FAQ draft: 1, 4 and 5. Author: - Norvegicus Lupus, Patron Date: Oct 22, 1999 16:39 1. Who were the Etruscans? In addition to the professions mentioned in this paragraph of the FAQ draft, the Rasna/Etruscans can also be defined as teachers and conquerers, simply because they influenced their neighbouring peoples and conquered Etruria. Besides the mentioned constructions, the Rasna/Etruscans also digged tunnels and built dams to drain the swamps. They knew also the secret of how to build arches of cuneinform stone (cp. 5). In this paragraph it can also be mentioned that the Rasna/Etruscans enjoyed everything which made life happy and merry: music, play, colourful clothes and murals in houses and temples. 4. How were they historically important? In this paragraph is mentioned the activity of piracy among the Rasna/Etruscans. I think it is important to add that the Rasna/Etruscans were wealthy because of piracy _and_ trade. 5. What are some noteable accomplishments of Etruscan civilization? In addition to what is mentioned in this paragraph, it can be told that the Rasna/Etruscans influenced the neighbouring peoples by teaching them new methods of construction and inspiring them with their music, festivals, life style and by wearing _togas_.
