Fresh Batch #53: The Etruscan City-State of Tarquinii

Was Its Mediterranean Sea-Power Phoenician?

What is the real history of Italy? There are many civilizations that built upon key locations, apparently known about by the Italians, yet the intricate details of by whom remain a mystery. All learned men who’ve done good work on this subject agree that the chronological dating of Rome’s foundation to the 8th century BC is sheer nonsense. Higgins claimed the first three centuries of Rome’s history is astrotheological, not actual. I suspect this is an effect of covering up the ancient universal maritime empire.

Grant called the history of the Monarchs from Tarquinii at Rome a fraudulent chauvinistic story (The Etruscans, p. 133). On the following page he claimed the form in which the story came down to us contains legendary and unacceptable details, and he suspected that it was the sort of story that was told in order to avoid the suggestion that a foreigner forcefully conquered Rome.

He added (p. 134), “Nevertheless, the main features of Rome’s Etruscan dynasty still remain convincing. The approximate date of 616 BC for its beginnings fits in very well with the archaeological evidence concerning Rome, which was becoming Etruscanized and urbanized at just about this time.”

My work shakes up the status quo, denies that Etruscan (and even Latin) descend from Greek, that the Phoenicians are not Afroasiatic, but Celtic (Ancient Italian), and that Italy was the first great colony of the Phoenicians (an opinion supported by William Betham and Bishop Thirwall), who also peopled Britain. If you have not read or listened to The Holy Sailors, give the sample a go. If you’ve never taken advantage of a free trial at Audible, you can do so and get the book for free. (Click the image.)
