No one knows for sure where the Etruscans came from. These strange and mysterious people were known in ancient civilisations as the people of the sea.

In ancient mythology it is thought that they came from the Lost City of Atlantis and when their land and city began to sink into the sea by relentless floods they were forced to invade and conquer the west coast of Italy where they subjugated the Romans centuries before the rise of the Roman Empire.
