      I've been a few years ago in the midland of Turkey, and saw there many 
      (hundreds) tumulus (burial mound). 
      Remembering the size and form, it does look very simular as the Etruscan 
      tumulus. 
      I seems that the Tumulus in Turkey are ten years older then the Etruscans. 

      I couldn't find out if there is/was any close connection between these 
      cultures, 
      although they have been traveling around alot. 
      I've even been asking in Turkey and in Italy, without any result. 
      btw: the tumulus in Turkey were called "Tipi".
