Consider yourself added. If you ever change your mind, just let me know.

LOL ... pre the flood, when I was in boarding school, the choir, of which I was a member, had to learn to sing almost the entire AENEID and yes, I can still sing it. :-)

Hmmm... she bears a passing resemblance to Hillary!(tm) to me.

The Basques are certainly genetically odd. Cavalli-Sforza "History and geography of human genes" has genetic maps of Europe, and the Basques form an isolate, and the regions around the Basque country a transition zone. The Basques have physical characteristics that distinguish them from the European norm, such as many times the rate of rare blood types.

I did leave out Virgil as a chronicler of early Rome.

The Romans were later eager to show a glorious orgin for themselves, certainly, as were most of the Greeks. Everybody was a descendant of Hercules, or Athena, or somesuch.

I'd wager you went to a Jesuit high school in the NE

Pretty close--a Jesuit high school in Denver, Colo. Best school by far in Colorado at that time, and I got an education that doesn't quit.

My theory is that there is a connection between Etruscan and Pelasgian(the pre-Indo-European -inthos or -ossos/-assos substratum of Greek, which may be related to Minoan.) I have little evidence for this, but it makes a lot of sense.
Pelasgian may be related to the Hurro-Urartian languages (the ancient languages of NE Anatolia, where M172 and related Y chromosome markers are found) which are thought to be NE Caucasian.
Genetic data shows that for Greece there is an association between the M172 Y chromosome marker that is associated with expansion from Anatolia to SE Europe and regions of intensive Neolithic settlement.
Here's the link:

I wonder what genetic studies (esp. Y chromosome) of the Etruscan remains (or modern rural people from Tuscany and Umbria) would show.

Would you also add me to your ping list?

Thank You!!

The figure with red hair is surely a death demon of some kind.

Yeah, redheads always bear watching.

Do you know if they found the one that has a remarkable likeness to Helen Thomas?
