An Etruscan tomb found at the Osteria Necropolis in Vulci, northern Lazio, was opened recently and proved to be a fantastic repository for information on Etruscan trade. In this video I discuss this story, as well as the discovery of a Bronze Age step pyramid in Kazakstan that was most likely a mausoleum built by the Begazi Dandibay culture and the excavation of a clay tablet at Hattusa that's etched with the script of a lost language.
