Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the Etruscan and Celtic languages and antiquities, comparing them with Phoenician and Iberian origins and artifacts to establish a shared ancestry for these civilizations. The author believes the languages to be cognates of each other and related to Phoenician. Similarities between Etruscan tombs, Celtic stone circles, and megalithic structures like New Grange in Ireland suggest that the peoples shared cultural, religious, and architectural practices. Ireland's round towers and the two-headed Janus depicted on Etruscan coins are explored, and the author provocatively suggests the Janus imagery symbolizes an outward and homeward voyage to Ireland, marking a shared mariners' tradition. The book concludes by positing the Etruscans as seafarers who voyaged to Ireland, establishing connections that profoundly influenced the cultural and linguistic development of both societies. This book offers an insightful and thought-provoking perspective on the origins and interconnections of ancient European cultures.
