The Etruscans are often described as mysterious for many reasons. Their origins are unclear and their language is still not entirely deciphered. Greek and Roman historians regarded them as pirates and frivolous people and did not give their culture the credit it deserved. That’s why till these days in schools we study Greek history and then jump straight to Rome. But there was a very important piece in-between these two - the Etruscan civilisation - which in many ways shaped Rome.

I'm just hoping that, as we x-ray and digitally unroll more scrolls from the library of herculaneum, we eventually find a copy of Claudius' guide to Etruscan history and language.
To @metroplexprime9901 That is exactly one of the things that I have been wishing for. If not a Herculaneum scroll, a papyrus wrapped around a mummy would do nicely.
If you're waiting for Neapolitans, you're waiting in vain. They might have 10 rosetta stones in their museum's inventory and they wouldn't know lol.
The church destroyed most of ancient history but they may have something about this in their libraries.
@@vitordelima Really, it was time that destroyed the history, not any organisation. Think about how many movies, books, heck even video games from the past centuries, decades, and years have been lost: even with modern technology and people trying to preserve as much as possible. Now stretch that over 1000's of years. It's actually a miracle that so much has survived! Each of the works that we have are either miraculous survivors (like the dead sea scrolls), or they have been copied and recopied for centuries, and if any one of them was not copied before the media deteriorated beyond use; it was completely lost. Conspiracies are fun, but entropy is the real enemy.

Those statues and paintings show unusal human beauty. And i am able to see etruscan descendands in the streets of Italy. Some people show the same characteristics in their face.
Definitely, the people of Tuscany would count the Etruscans among their ancestors (the toponym Tuscany is derived from an alternate term for Etruria).
Northern Lazio and western Umbria were Etruscan as well. Rome had three Etruscan kings, all of them were from Tarquinia in the modern Lazio
Few of the things shown in the video have nothing to do with the topic, it's just random, wish they actually show things that they talk about or just don't show anything if they don't have access to a piece. But yeah these Etrskians were something of importance for sure. lets not forget that plenty of things Vatican banned to show so you wont see it on social media and especially a zombie puppet platform like YT is Edit: anyway forgot to say that if you want to learn about Etruskan (Rasi) then don't go too far, learn about Serbian language old and new and you will know about Etruskians because they were the old Serbs. Et Ruskians basically is From Rusians or From the Rasa. They called them selves Rasi for short. Serbs still to this day use that word for field plantation, today "rasejati" and Rasejani for people was a word for a natives who spread the world, who plant themselves around the world, spreading their language and knowledge. Today Russia and Russians are pretty much using the same word and name for their own identity. Russia is basically the biggest Serbian tribe that became an independent empire and managed to survive ... Today Serbia still have a region called Rashka Oblast which was named in honor of the people who roamed around the world and came back to settle there. You will find the same in so called Ukraine, Poland and many other countries of today that use to be dominantly Serbian aka Slavic, aka Orthodox Christian ... depends of the topic. In Italy and many other places obviously they didn't survived as Rasi or Etruskians or Serbs or what ever someone called them like ... I mean sure you have Serbian communities in Italy but before Italy existed Serbs actually had their own country in there. As shown in this video too. Vatican and their branches directly or indirectly made many atroicities towards the Serbs through history and there is plenty of evidence how and why. Every European country bascially made on Serbian spilled blood and their language somehwat remained so as names of places.
You always manage to go deeper into language subject, weaving them in a fabric of contexts that make me watch from the first minute to the last! My sincere compliments!

Love your content Julie . You’re the best 😊
I read a comment once by someone who was familiar with Persian that "muš xormâye kuhi," one of the Persian terms for marmot, did bear some resemblance to the term for mountain ant, "mur kuh." So, there is a distinct possibility that Herodotus' informant mistranslated the term. This is especially true if it went through several tellers. More weight is given to this by the fact that travellers in the Himalayas have discovered that tribes there do indeed sift through the tailings left from marmots' burrowing for gold. It should also be kept in mind that Herodotus was writing for an erudite Greek intellectual class, and he expected them to be able to distinguish betwixt what he clearly said was told to him and what he stated as fact.
Thanks for that. I was going to bring that up. I don't think Herodotus intentionally made anything up. He simply reported the information he was told to the best of his ability and resources at the time. Even today we get so much wrong, so we should not be mocking someone from 2500 years ago, for making mistakes.
He would occasionally point out that he was just reciting the stories people told him in his travels. Even expressing doubts about some of it being true. Not necessarily writing about absolute historical fact but more like a collection of cultural legends and practices around various parts of the world at the time.
Thank you for *all* of your language overviews, and, even for the *advertising* on this one!
You are awesome! I loved this video! Thank you so much.
3:00 No Herodotus was RIGHT! As an indian i can confirm that we all have farms of massive gold digger ant so that we can earn and feed ourselves.
Herodotus clearly states that what he writes was communicated to him by people he met. He himself does not take a position on these mythical elements.

Etruscan was developed from Vinca script. Greek is a copy more or less from Vinca script and Latin took it from Greeks. Etruscan writing on a large stone block was deciphered using Cyrillic Serbian alphabet, which uses 28 letters from Vinca script. Comparing the letters of Vinca, Greek, Etruscan is showing which one was first. Its Vinca. Phelascians lived in mainland Greece before the Greeks arrived from the Ionian sea island. Crete is loaded with archaeological remains which are showing the presence of population before the Greeks, namely Pelasgians.
Yes, but that does not follow the official , false narrative.
Serbo mongol, calm down you have nothing to do with this history. The Cyrillic letters were given to you by the people of east Roman empire, Roman empire used different systems of writings, Latin, Greek, Cyrillic and few others. When you came in Balkan you didn’t know how to write so you took everything. You have nothing to do with vinca culture because you came thousands of years later.
@@LikeICare155the official narrative is correct, the serbian false narrative that can lie all day long is the one that it is false.

Amazing video as always, you will always be an indispensable part of my learning process julie
The words 'arena', 'satellite', and 'antenna' are also thought to be Etruscan. Intriguing language! Great video, Julie, as always. And you are ever so pretty. :)
About the similarities between "Teresh" and Rasena. They're actually similar. 1) the "e" between Egyptian consonants are just placeholders egyptologists put for sounds we don't know (normally vowels). 2) the T is used in Egyptian as in many other Afro-Asiatic languages part of a particle (t3) used to express the "land" or "people" of/from. 3) that leaves us t(3?)-r(_?)sh(_?). So somewhat as "ta-rashena" would not be out of the question. Still a very fringe idea and I'm not a linguist and Egyptian more than a single language is a group of them over 5000 years.
They are the same word, especially if we go by the intermediate Greek "Tyrsenos" < ty-rasn(a)-os, where ty must be the Etruscan definite article "the", just as ta is the Etruscan word for "this" (apparent also in the formation of the river name Tiberis < ty - iber -is, where iber, a Vasconic word for riverside, is omnipresent from Ebros to Iberus going through Ibar in Kosovo and Tiber in Italy).
PS - I take your "t3" explanation as a possibility, although it's hard for it to explain the Greek Tyrsenos, unless it was also part of Pelasgo-Tyrsenian in the form "ty" (tü).
@@LuisAldamiz i know barely nothing about Greek or Etruscan linguistics, but it may be, quite a lot of the historical Greek derived words are actually Egyptian in origin as is the case of "Phoenician" from "fenehw"/ fnHw. So at least it is reasonable, not too crazy :)
@@migueldeuna3261 - IDK, what does "fenehw" mean? Phoenicians seem to have been influential enough to make at least one loanword to Basque: the word for "iron": burdin, probably from Canaanite berzel, but their influence seems to be more clear in Iberia (hence Basques via ancient Iberians surely), necessarily in NW Africa and surely also in Sicily, maybe Sardinia. Otherwise in Italy I see little reason for Phoenician influence TBH.

Gli Etruschi,erano una civiltà già sviluppata prima ancora della fondazione di Roma, costruirono navi per i loro commerci con i popoli del Mediterraneo, costruirono ponti, Strade di comunicazione, avevano ingegneri, architetti, medici,erano guerrieri ma, non Conquistatori e durante i secoli della loro presenza nei territori della Penisola tramite i loro Re, la loro cultura e la loro civilta' fu positiva per lo sviluppo della nascente civiltà Romana che in seguito, essendo i Romani Guerrieri conquistatori, sottomisero tutti i popoli della penisola Etruschi inclusi.Dopo alcuni secoli di Repubblica Romana, ebbe inizio L'impero Romano con Ottaviano Augusto primo imperatore.

Interesting DNA results. However, the greatest diversity of clades and subclades of haplogroups is in the country of origin of certain haplogroup, but due to the "founder effect" the biggest concentration of certain haplogroups is in the country/land of colonisation, in this case in Balkans among South Slavic peoples. And smaller percentage means that contributors/ancestors were living in more distant past, and larger shares meaning more recent ancestors. And, test by some other companies could possibly have different results. I love your videos. (My final thesis at the history department was about Etruscan origins according to the Herodotus). One more curiosity: the letter for voice /f/ in shape of number 8 in Etruscan alphabet it is the same as in Lydian alphabet. And when I have done the analysis of the Lemnos stelae, I 've discovered that some words there were borrowed from neighbouring Lydian language. And there is an excellent book dealing with ancient languages : "The Cambridge Encyclopedia of the World's Ancient languages" (I have version from 2004)... The only language where I found the connection with Etruscan numerals is ancient Hurritic or Hurrian language number 3: kiq towards Etruscan "ci" /ki/. Some Russian linguists proposed connection with languages of Caucasus. In his work, in chapter unrelated to Tyrsenoi, Herodotus wrote about the city which was in his time named "Tetrapolis" and previously was known as "Hyttenia". From this is remarkable similarity with Etruscan number "huth" meaning four (4). From work of Thucydides we can find out that, in the time when author has lived (second half of 5th century BC), in peninsula Khalkidike in northern Aegean (with 3 big "fingers") in some of cities were living Pelasgians among which majority were "Tyrrhenoi"; also, the inhabitants of Lemnos according to the Thucydides were "Tyrrhenoi". Herodotus wrote that before conquest of island by the Athenians in cca. year 505 BC under leadership of Miltiades (same guy known later from battle of Marathon in 490 BC), the inhabitants of the island were "Pelasgians", having two cities on the island. Greetings from Croatia, home to the longest known Etruscan manuscript in the world ...
Very interesting, thanks for sharing!
I was wondering if anything could, or would, ever be said about Etruscan genetics, because of the old stories of those present at the opening of Etruscan tombs witnessing the nearly intact remains of the deceased turn to dust before their eyes after exposure to the air. Archeological discoveries are very random. The current assessment of Etruscan genetics is based upon a sample set. A sample set may or may not reflect the big picture. I believe the sample set's male Etruscans were R1b: that is, Indo-European. The conventional wisdom is that the Pelasgians were not Indo-European. That would have made them either Proto-European aboriginal (I1 or I2, etc.) or Anatolian Farmer (G, etc.). Those of us directly descended from these groups might have wished to claim both the Pelasgians, and the Etruscans, as their own. The recent Etruscan genetic discoveries may disabuse us of that. Still, we must bear in mind that the conclusions of this recent research are based upon a small sample set. If we are confident of the recent research, we might consider the Pelasgian or Proto-European paternal bloodlines were either bred out or wiped out in Etruria, as they undoubtedly were in Iberia.

I would bet that the influence of Etruscan on modern languages is highly underestimated.
Considering the massive influence Latin has had on virtually all European languages, even if Etruscan had only a moderate impact on Latin, its modern legacy could still be considerable. I for one suspect Etruscan had a very large impact on early Latin. Several of the pre-republic kings of Rome where of Etruscan descent
Some have mentioned other words such as antenna, arena or satellite, mythological Latin names are also often Etruscan (Neptune, Minerva, etc., also Hades, Aphrodite and titan in Greek must be of Tyrsenian roots, April is definitely from Etruscan Apru = Venus-Aphrodite). However I want to underline Latin urbs and its derivatives (urban, etc.) because I think that it was Etruscans who brought the "uru" Mesopotamian word for "city" to the west, while the Levantine variant "iri/ili" is probably older and distributed by other peoples, always in wanderwort fashion.

There are Rhaetic words that remain in the Romansh language of Switzerland 🇨🇭, Rhaetic could be a related language to Etruscan
It's unclear if Rhaetic was Tyrsenian, what is clear is however that they had adopted a variant of the Etruscan alphabet and that this variant would later produce the Futhark or Runic alphabet of the Germanics.
According to Livy many Etruscans of the Po valley found refuge among the Rethes during the celtic invasion; owing to the similarities in customs and language? Perhaps, if we look at the culture of those people (see the interesting Rethian museum in Trento which resembles to many other museums of central Italy as for the Villanovian culture.
Rhaetic was indeed related to the Etruscans, a very old relations dating back to Prehistory (the idea that the Raeti were Etruscans who fled to the Alps due to the Gallic invasions has not been considered true by archaeologists for many decades)
Hey @JuLingo, I mean this in a good way and I don't want to hurt your feelings. I want to give you a cognitive scientist's tip for your future videos. It would be nice if you didn't try too hard to entertain the viewers. Nowadays it is common to use very disturbing background music in videos and to interrupt the speech so that the listener is out of breath. This is a trend, but you don't have to follow it. A better option is to think in terms of empathy, i.e. to think about who is watching the video. Of course, then you have to make generalisations, but when you are aiming for a large audience, then it is also a question of generalisations. An empathetic approach in this case means understanding what kind of people most people are who watch videos on the subject in question. Viewers of such videos are often more interested than average in science and languages, possibly linguistics. I know a lot of people in this group and I can tell you that fast talking, distracting background music or anything like that, does not appeal to this target audience. Don't think that you have to make a video for the masses and that you have to follow some general idea of how to make videos. So, breathe, talk slower, take pauses, place background music only at the beginning and focus only on the content itself. So it's not a music video, it's not something that you have to try to keep the viewer engaged, it's not something that you have to specifically entertain them with. It's a video for people interested in this particular subject. I hope you took this in good spirit and understand what I mean.

One of the possible legacies of the Etruscan language may be some specific phonemes of the modern Tuscan language, mainly the sounds /kh/ and /th/ which aren't found in any other Italian language. Since Tuscany was the core land of the Etruscan civilisation, it's possible that those phonemes of the ancient language survived and evolved through Latin and remained in modern Tuscan.
As far as I'm aware, the Etruscan origins of the Tuscan Gorgia have been thoroughly disproven
No, that makes no sense. Those sounds developed from Latin in predictable ways. The same changes occurred in Germanic.
@@AnAverageItalian Oh I didn't know that, thanks
@@AmyThePuddytat I thought they were unusual because no other Italian language has those sounds. But I suppose it can be possible considering Spanish has the /kh/ sound
Very interesting.

Etruscans are slavic people from the balkans, etruscans founded Rome and Venetia and other citys ….
The language is not Slavic, and indeed is not even Indo-European.
@@barrymoore4470 i can read etruscan laungage and i am form Montenegro so the laungage is slavic , and genetics poove that theey are slavics
@@bijelimedved2983 Not one reputable published scholar in this field agrees with you about the language being Slavic, or even Indo-European for that matter.

Etruscan is not like any "European" language.But close to Altaic and Uralic languages. Because it is agglutinative. Other agglutinative languages are Altaic languages such as Turkish (Turkic), Finnish, Hungarian (Fin - Ugor) and Uralic languages such as Korean, Japanese, Mongolian. Agglutinative languages form words by attaching various affixes to roots to denote grammatical functions. Example: plural, tense, or case suffixes are directly attached to nouns or verbs. Noun and Verb Conjugations: For example Etruscan and Turkish use similar methods in the conjugation of nouns and verbs. In both languages, noun conjugations employ morphological markers such as plural, possessive, and case suffixes. In verb conjugations, tense, person, and mood suffixes are significant. By the way, another agglutinative language is Sumerian. However, in Sumerian there is also prefixes.
Englishborne agglutinations plentifulliate ;) ag- glutin-ati-ve is an agglutination.
@@JanoTuotanto :) Not creating a word from another. Creating phrases with suffixes to verb's root. Turkish: İngilizleştirebilemediklerimizdenmisiniz? İngiliz(1)-leştir(2)-ebil(3)-eme(4+past tense)-dik(5)-ler(6)-imiz(7+we/again)-den(8) misin(10)-iz(9)? Meaning: Are(10) you(9) one of(8) those(6) whom(7) we(5) could(3) not(4) angli(1)cize(2)? İngilizleştirebilinememişlerdenmisiniz? Are you one of those who could not be anglicized?
Altaic is rejected by basically every mainstream linguist, it's a sprachbund if anything. Agglutination doesn't mean that languages are related, many unrelated languages are agglutinative. Also your obviously a troll 😂
@@unbeatable_all :) Read again what I wrote untalented troll.
Finnish and Hungarian are Uralic, not Altaic languages and definitely not in the same family with Japonic and Koreanic languages if you don't go as far as a hypothetical pre-proto-humanic language. The latter three Asian languages are in their own respective language families, not even related to each other.
The Etruscans have connections with the Scythians and the Pelasgians.
Beautiful
Brilliant ! I love Etruscan Italy !❤❤❤
Why you not tell us about Serbian walls around Roma city? And who make Roma city? Serbian people, Serbian Etruscan tribes. This is old Serbian cyrilic letter!
The Etruscans have nothing to do with the Serbs because the Serbs appeared in the history of the modern age, their history begins with the Slavs and no Slavic people have been in Anatolia, these days I have seen a few Slavians who call the Scythians Slavs, but all of them I could not stand scientific theses.
@@Khorasan_TurcoSerbs did not appear, they are indigenous people of Europe , in fact the oldest
@@LikeICare155 They appeared because before the Serbs, the proto-Hungarians, the proto-Bulgarians, the Avars, the Huns, the Pechenegs, some of the places where the Kipchaks went from nomadism to settled life, the Slavic peoples came in the form of slavery and mercenaries, that is, there were Turkic peoples there before the Slavs.

Mario Alinei (10 August 1926 - 9 August 2018) was an Italian linguist and professor emeritus at the University of Utrecht (Holland), where he taught from 1959 to 1987. He was an Etruscan scholar and linguist. He has found some interesting stuff and language relationships, that many find disturbing and vehemently deny - even without the proper credentials, research and knowledge - like the ones Alinei actually had... Some non-Italian people who don't know even three Etruscan words but called themselves "linguist" have called him a "crackpot", in spite that he was an EXPERT Etruscan linguist and was a professor at one of the most prestigious universities of the world for 28 years... Virtually all of his detractors do not have anywhere near Alinei's credentials, his knowledge, nor the decades length and breadth of his research.
I sang several rheto-romano songs from Canton Graubunden in Switzerland, and some the words you mentioned does appear in the lyrics. According to what is known, the Etruscans conquered the Rhaeti and the the latter syncrectized their conqueror's language. Later the Romans added their language to the mix. I await further research about the Etruscan language.
Etruscans were pre-Indoeuropean Italians.
According to their DNA they are not, they had 75% Y: R1b, that is Eastern European stepper people.
Give it some time. Some albanian comments will show up

According to Johannes Krause, in his book A Short History of Humanity, based on paleogenetic analysis, the Etruscan language originates from the Anatolian migration that brought farming into Europe. The same is true for the defunct Minoan and Paleo-Sardinian languages, as well as Basque (the only Anatolian farmers' language that has survived to this day).
Old Serbs from Vincha
@@LikeICare155 what do you mean?
@@UltimaGainaVincha civilization of Serbia spread all over Middle East , Lydia, Lycia and Frigia. Vinchan letters are found in Lydia , the same are in Appenines. Etruscans called themselves Raseni- Ras is the area in Serbia , they had the same pottery , language , etc. The letters were being decoded long time ago by using cirilic letters that derived from vinchan as well as latin.
@@LikeICare155 Yes, indeed, but these were not Serbs. Like the Etruscans, Paleo-Sardinians, Minoans, Basques, etc., they were part of the stone-age Anatolian farmers' migration that spead in the South of Europe and displaced the pre-existing European hunter-gatherers. Serbs, like all Slavic, Germanic, Celtic, Latin, and even Greek populations, are part of the third wave of migrants into Europe, the wave of Yamnaya pastoralist warriors who, invading from the Pontic steppes, overwhelmed the Anatolian farmers, committed androcide, occupied the Anatolian farmers' lands, took their women and imposed their Indo-European languages.
Last month I investigated about the Etruscan language and made some sentences. I searched for a video about the subjegt but didn't find anything. Now this video was recommended to me.
To je slovenski jezik, imaju slicno pismo kao vincanska civilizacija, evropljani je zovu dunavska civilizacija. Sebe su zvali rašani ali rimljani nisu znali to izgovoriti a pogotovo grci nemogu to izgovoriti.
Non dire cazzate
No it's not slavic wtf 😂
One day with AI everything will be...
True
Etruscan were way ahead of Greeks . Etruscan women owned land and were worthy leaders . Si no they were not Greeks by tradition.
8n fact you could say in a way, the Etruscans had a form of democracy long before the Greeks made contact there. Maybe that's where they got the idea from
Iliad puts pelasgians somewhere else, thus look again where herodotus puts them. Then rasena is written in greek in yr video😮
@gentkamberi8533, it’s true, that sort of society falls in line with the Celts and Germanic tribes. Despite their language not being of Indo-European, they still probably have some dna from them and certainly cultural traits. I do know they were really good metal workers along with the Celts and collaborated in developing the long cheek guard helmets together, which in return was adopted by the Romans and Greeks, much like other Celtic technologies.

First, I would like to say I truly enjoyed the video. As a person who studies languages myself, I would like to make a small comment. 1) Yes, we have multiple claims about the Etruscans by different people at different ages and we have material evidence from excavation sites (for instance, "villa nova" illalic settlements). However, we also have different ways of understanding what counts as a people. Are we talking about a linguistic community? Or about a religious community? Or about a genetic community? Or about groups of settlements that exchanged goods? Or about a zone sharing the same paying and measuring systems? Or about military alliances during clashes between two armed blocks? Which kind of group are we talking about when we say that the Etruscans lived somewhere and spoke Etruscan? Since your video is about the Etruscan language and it is a gift attached to an ancestry test advertisment, it seems that you are considering the intersection between linguistic and genetic communities (and religious community?): one language with one religion, one army, and one genome (Dio, Patria e Famiglia). Is this the case? 2) As for the term "theory", I would suggest you consider the claims as alternative or complementary hypotheses that one can use to defend with the collected evidence or accommodate the evidence. Once the hypotheses are evidentiated to a sufficient extent, they should be accepted as theses. The linguistic theory here is the way we think languages are used and evolve at it is what we use to describe the language and to analyse extant texts. We do not need a new linguistic theory, we need to apply our linguistic theory to the description of Etruscan (updating our linguistic theory if Etruscan works differently from all other languages in the world), and then we need to use this description for whatever goal we have, for instance, to defend or oppose hypotheses about whatever you are calling the Etruscan people/civilization. 3) As for the term "gender", you enter in contradiction. The opposition between animated vs inanimated being is gender. It is not sex-based, but it is gender.
The most interesting question still is: How did the Etruscan language SOUND? The written language does not say much about a language, see French. And unfortunately we can´t say much about that aspect. Unless there are lyric sources.
They're not that mysterious: they were along the Lemnians the last of the Pelasgo-Tyrsenian peoples, who dominated Asia Minor and parts of the Balcans (Vinca and Dimini culture notably) for a very long time, deriving ultimately from the Halaf culture of Upper Mesopotamia and bringing Y-DNA J2 to Europe first of all. They were indeed the Teresh = Tyrsenoy and there's no contradiction whatsoever with Rasna, because "ty" was (necessarily) the Etruscan definite article ("the" in English, compare with ta = this in documented Etruscan); ty-rasna = tyrsen-os = the Etruscan, this we also see in the name of the Tiber river, which was ty-iber-is (Etruscan article - Vasconic core - Latin nominative suffix). Mythologically Tyrsenians left a massive legacy in Greece: Aita > Hades, karun > Charon, Titos (Tinia for Etruscans but Titos in Asia Minor) > Titans, Apru > Aphrodite, etc. They also get various oriental words like Nept (Neptune) == Nephtis (Egyptian goddess of the waters) or Lukumon (king) == Lugal (king in Sumerian) or probably also the *uri root of Latin "urbs", otherwise common in the Mediterranean in the ili/iri form instead, which is Levantine, while uru is Mesopotamian and also spread to Dravidic India. Etruscans were massively influential in Rome, which was no doubt partly created and ruled by them; the alphabet we're using is a barely modified Etruscan alphabet, the Roman forum was drained and built by Etruscan engineers and Romans depended on Etruscan sages for interpreting the lightning (Latin divination was about entrails and the flight of birds but they knew nothing of reading the thunderbolts). Etruscans/Teresh arrived to Italy c. 900 BCE, four centuries after the Celto-Italics but before these were consolidated in Central-South Italy yet. They almost certainly arrived along with another "sea people": the proto-Phoenician Shekelesh, which ended up in Sicily and coalesced into the Sicels, giving Sicilians a unique Syrian-like type of genetics that doesn't exist anywhere else in Europe.
