The West does not want to admit that the Roman civilization was founded by the Slavs

Ask any Western historian a question about the antiquity of European peoples, and you will hear that the history of the Germans, Italians and French goes back many millennia. The Slavs appeared in the 6th century AD. and against the background of the Europeans - mere babies, just yesterday crawled out of their diapers.

Meanwhile, the Slavs as early as the 1st millennium BC. e. attended the Apennine Peninsula and created a high culture there, from which the entire Roman civilization grew.

The predecessors of the Romans

It is believed that the Greeks and Romans laid the foundation for Western European civilization. But Roman culture did not arise out of the blue. In any textbook you will read that it was based on the culture of the Etruscans - a people who lived in the territory of modern Tuscany.

Engineering, gladiator fights, chariot races, theaters, martial arts, state government, urban planning - to list everything that the Romans borrowed from the Etruscans can take a long time. The Etruscans (the neighbors called them Tyrrhenians) were wonderful sailors and the sea along the western coast of Italy is still called Tyrrhenian - the Etruscans were its sovereign masters.

Even Rome itself was founded by the Etruscans. The famous Capitoline she-wolf was created by Etruscan craftsmen and only a few centuries later figurines of the babies Romulus and Remus were attached to it. The aqueduct (cesspool of maxima), built by the Etruscans two thousand years ago, is still part of the sewerage system of Rome. The Romans borrowed the symbols of royal power from the Etruscans: the throne and fasci (bundles of twigs with a double hatchet in the center).

However, the people who have done so much for the formation of Roman civilization are called by Italian historians "the most mysterious people" about which almost nothing is known: neither where it came from, nor where it disappeared later.

Come from nowhere

What Italian historians are absolutely sure of is that the Etruscans were not originally from Italy. Anatolia (Turkey), Rezia (Alps), Lydia (Asia Minor), distant Scythia - wherever the Etruscologists drove this ancient people. However, each hypothesis failed: scientists recognized that the Etruscans were not relatives of any of the tribes they knew. It would seem that the Etruscans themselves should give the answer to all questions, because more than 10,000 samples of the writing of this people have come down to us.

But scientists only shrug their shoulders: they read the records of the Sumerians, deciphered the Egyptian hieroglyphs, but the Etruscan letters turned out to be such a tough nut to crack that they entered Italian folklore: faced with a problem that he could not solve, the Italian in his hearts says: “etruscum non legitur!” (Etruscan is not readable!). Read, and how!

Champi, Volansky, Chertkov and others

In the middle of the 19th century, the Italian Ciampi, the Pole Volansky and the Russian Chertkov read the mysterious letters independently of each other. Sebastian Ciampi devoted many years to the study of the Etruscan culture. He tried to decipher their writing as well, but alas! None of the ancient languages he knew were suitable as a key.

In 1817, the Italian moved to Warsaw, where he headed the department of Greek and Roman literature. For general education I began to study the Polish language and was surprised to find that the Etruscan letters "spoke"! The incomprehensible secret writing turned out to be based on the Old Slavonic language. He shared his discovery with colleagues in 1824, but the very idea that Roman culture rests on a Slavic foundation was so blasphemous that the scientist was simply ridiculed.

In 1846, Polish historian and archaeologist Tadeusz Wolanski published his work on the Slavic origins of the Etruscans. In the book "Monuments of Slavic Writing Before the Nativity of Christ," he went even further and announced that the Slavs had written language much earlier than the Phoenicians, Jews, Greeks and Egyptians. To prove his theory, he presented Slavic inscriptions he found in Persia, India, Italy and Egypt.

The Catholic clergy could not endure this, contributed the work to the "Index of Forbidden Books" and sentenced Volansky to be burned at the stake from his own books. Fortunately, Poland was part of the Russian Empire, and such a radical step required the permission of the emperor. Nicholas I did not give permission (have they gone crazy? XIX century outside), but ordered the book to be withdrawn from free circulation so as not to spoil relations with the Vatican.

In 1855, the Russian scientist, archaeologist and numismatist Dmitry Chertkov also spoke out in favor of the hypothesis of the Slavic roots of the Etruscans. Western scholars unleashed a flurry of criticism on him, but Chertkov was rich, noble, independent and spat from a high bell tower at all critics.

In 2001, the brochure "The Sacred Old Russian Text from Pyrga" by the Russian lexicologist V. Osipov was published. Based on the Old Slavonic "Forest Book", the scientist deciphered dozens of Etruscan inscriptions, read hundreds of Etruscan words.

He sent his work to etruscologists in different countries of the world, but no one answered him. The luminaries of Western science stubbornly consider the Etruscan language to be extinct, having no relatives. The Western world will never admit that the foundations of the Roman (and therefore the entire European) culture were laid by migrants from distant lands, on which the vast state of Russia is now spread.
