I’m betting the Etruscans loved their Ovaltine.

Seventy legible letters? How much wealth of detail can the experts torture out of that? That’s shorter than this post.

...may be a rare sacred text in the Etruscan language that is likely to yield rich details about Etruscan worship of a god or goddess. "Rich details" from 70 characters?

Question for someone in the know: How likely is it this will ever be translated?

"The stele has at least 70 legible letters and punctuation marks, likely with new words never seen before."
*Never* seen before? Even by those who wrote (chiseled) it?

Thought the Etruscans worshipped the Earth Mother goddess?

Back in the day when I was studying ancient history at Columbia, one of the professors had a course on the Etruscans. Her father was a famous academician and archaeologist who worked on some of the earliest digs of Etruscan tombs and cities.
I remember that there was no translation of the Etruscan language and the aricle refers to it as a lost language still. Apparently no Rosetta stone has been found?
