Thus disappeared the literature of the people who taught a large portion of the earth's population to write.

Since [[Pyrgi Tablets|bilingual tablets]] with inscriptions in both [[Etruscan language|Etruscan]] and Phoenician dating from around 500 BCE were found in 1964, more Etruscan has been deciphered through comparison to the more fully understood Phoenician-->
