      Romans -and perhaps first christians- were interested in destroying 
      Etruria. But this destruction can't be accomplished because many things 
      -spiritual, strong things, like words, like ways of dealing with the 
      cosmos- survived through the roman empire, the dark ages -and came into 
      light through the pen of Dante Alighieri in his so etruscan description of 
      the underworld- the age of the reason,the romanticism and the World Wars. 
      The spiritual legacy of Etruria is alive, we talk about persons -and is in 
      etruscan that we are thinking- we see the lights in the sky (tanhk you 
      Velthur) and  comunicate with the inquisitive etruscans that observed so 
      patiently the language of nature.
