Ancient people often valued deep philosophical and spiritual pursuits, which might make them see our modern distractions and lack of deep engagement as odd or disappointing. However, every era has its seekers of knowledge and wisdom. Ultimately, both ancient and modern humans share a common quest for understanding, just in different ways.

@@historydome Would it be fair or accurate to say that ancient peoples were far more interested in the pursuit of knowledge than folks nowadays? Myself, I would have to say that yes,they were. Unfortunately. What passes for knowledge today is both laughable and tragic. I must be clear, I do not have a giant brain nor do I have an i.q. that is off the charts. The point is that I want to learn, whereas the majority of people just want to look at their phone... contemplating whether or not to take on the Tide pod challenge.

It's a compelling perspective, but it's worth considering that the pursuit of knowledge has always varied among individuals in any era. While ancient societies often held philosophers and scholars in high regard, access to knowledge was limited to a privileged few. Today, we have unprecedented access to information, but it's true that distractions abound. However, there are still many people deeply committed to learning and advancing knowledge. The issue might be more about how society values and engages with this pursuit rather than a fundamental difference in interest between ancient and modern people.

@@historydome I feel fortunate that being 54, I still want to learn. Learn of ancient people, their customs, religious beliefs, etc... Learn what I can grasp about space and everything that dwells within. I feel that the instant that I no longer want to read various books,(books ~ the original text messaging) or watch a channel such as yours, when I am no longer interested or curious that very second I will become old. I know that I am not the only one who wants knowledge. My lament is that there are far fewer that want the same. It's like Bob Weir sang: "You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know..."

As for agricultural practices, the transition from hunter-gatherer lifestyles to settled agriculture occurred over thousands of years. The Neolithic Revolution, starting around 10,000 BC, marked a significant shift in human societies, as people began domesticating plants and animals.

So are the Tuscans, Ligurians. Lombards and Veneti and so many more. Some ethnically so different from “Romans”.

You bring up an intriguing point regarding the relationship between the Etruscans and the Rhaetic peoples of the Alps. It's a topic that continues to pique the interest of historians and geneticists alike. The study of ancient civilizations like the Etruscans is an evolving field, and new discoveries continue to reshape our understanding of the past.

Geneticists have already tested Etruscans also from Tuscany, and not only from Tarquinia (northern Latium), and the analyses of uniparental markers and autosomal DNA confirmed that the Etruscans were indigenous, as argued by archeologists, and that yes there may very well be a deep link to the Rhaetic peoples of the Alps, since the uniparental markers in the male line found in Etruscans are overwhelmingly traceable to Central Europe.
