      Why did etruscans arrived to this simple conception of the two sexes 
      sharing life? While greeks lived in a male world (male polytics, male 
      philosophy, male litterature), the etruscan men and women had equal right 
      to sit at the table of the food, the music, and the discussion. Egyptians, 
      greeks and romans arrived into death in the loneliness. Etruscans 
      projected the certain form of the couple towards the uncertainity of 
death.
