Concerning Literature

Egyptians, Sumerians, Mohenjo-daroans, Harappans, and Cretans, Elamites, and Nubians, were literate 3,000 years, 4,000 years, who knows how many thousands of years, before the world ever heard of Greeks or Romans. And there is ample evidence of their literacy.

Yet there is not one single entry: describing any of the people of their times, whether it be friends, foes, or invaders: or even more incredulously, there is not one single entry describing invading Whites in any of their literature.

Contrast that with Greek and Roman writings, in which these NEWLY literate people, after suffering through the "Dark ages" caused by the Albinos invasion, describe EVERYTHING and EVERYONE - except themselves!

These discrepancies are of course, not accidental, nor for lack of material. Hopefully, the White man has simply withheld this material, and not destroyed it.

 

On a related matter:

We the lied-to and oppressed, often comfort ourselves by believing that things are getting better, and perhaps in some ways that is so. But in regards to the Albinos trying to steal Black history, well, in that regard things are definitely getting worst!

It comes as a shock to some, that the current, and very false assertion by the Albinos that they are native to Europe, is NEW! Surprisingly, Albino scholars of only a hundred years ago, freely admitted that Albinos MOVED into Europe, and were NOT native to those lands. While they were in error on other things, some even correctly identified the Albino homeland as Central Asia.

Please note this example:

The North American Review

The North American Review (NAR) was the first literary magazine in the United States. Founded in Boston in 1815 by journalist Nathan Hale and others, it was published continuously until 1940.


Until the founding of the Atlantic Monthly in 1857, the NAR was the foremost publication in New England and probably the entire United States.[citation needed] For all its lasting impact on American literature and institutions, however, the Review had no more than 3000 subscribers in its heyday.


The NAR's first editor, William Tudor (1779-1830), and other founders had been members of Boston's Anthology Club, and launched The North American Review to foster a genuine American culture. In its first few years the NAR published poetry, fiction, and miscellaneous essays on a bi-monthly schedule, but in 1818 it became a quarterly with more focused contents intent on improving society and on elevating culture. The NAR promoted the improvement of public education and administration, with reforms in secondary schools, sound professional training of doctors and lawyers, rehabilitation of prisoners at the state penitentiary, and government by educated experts.


The NAR's editors and contributors included several literary and political New Englanders as John Adams, George Bancroft, Nathaniel Bowditch, William Cullen Bryant, Lewis Cass, Edward T. Channing, Caleb Cushing, Richard Henry Dana, Sr., Alexander Hill Everett, Edward Everett, Jared Sparks, George Ticknor, Gulian C. Verplanck, and Daniel Webster.

ANCIENT TYPES OF MAN
BY ARTHUR KEITH (1911)
CHAPTER VI, THE GRIMALDI OR NEGROID TYPE IN EUROPE, PAGE 59-63:


At the close of the last and at the beginning of the present century, largely owing to the interest taken in the history of primitive man by the Prince of Monaco, systematic excavations were carried out in deep strata of their floors. In one of these, the "Grotte des Enfants," usually named the Grimaldi Cave In the lowest layer of all were found two skeletons—one of a woman past middle life, with a stature estimated (5 ft. 2 in.) and the other of a boy about sixteen to seventeen years of age, and about (5 ft. 1 in.) in height. With them were found traces of a civilization and of a fauna which has led anthropologists to assign them to the end of the Mousterien or beginning of the Aurignacien Period [40,000 to 28,000 years ago]. French anthopologist Dr. Verneau, who has published the results of a minute examination of these two ancient individuals, from various features seen in the skeletons, had no hesitation in assigning them to a Negroid race.

 

MAN'S PLACE IN NATURE AND OTHER ANTHROPOLOGICAL ESSAYS
BY THOMAS H. HUXLEY (1899)
HUMAN FOSSILS


I shall confine myself, in discussing this question, to those fragmentary Human skulls from the caves of Engis in the valley of the Meuse, in Belgium, which have been examined with so much care by Sir Charles Lyell; upon whose high authority I shall take it for granted, that the Engis skull belonged to a contemporary of the Mammoth and of the woolly Rhinoceros. The skull from the cave of Engis was originally discovered by Professor Schmerling, and was described by him, together with other human remains disinterred at the same time, in his valuable work, " Recherches sur les Ossemens fossiles decouverts dans les Cavernes de la Province de Liege, published in 1833 (p. 59, et seq.), from which the following paragraphs are extracted, the precise expressions of the author being, as far as possible, preserved.

In order to neglect no point respecting the form of this fossil skull, we may observe that, from the first, the elongated and narrow form of the forehead attracted our attention. In fact, the slight elevation of the frontal, its narrowness, and the form of the orbit, approximate it more nearly to the cranium of an Ethiopian than to that of a European.

 

CIVILIZATION OR BARBARISM: AN AUTHENTIC ANTHROPOLOGY
BY CHEIKH ANTA DIOP (1981): PP. 15-16

The Grimaldi Negroids have left their numerous traces all over Europe and Asia, from the Iberian Peninsula to Lake Baykal in Siberia, passing through France, Austria, the Crimea, and the Basin of Don, etc. In these last two regions, the late Soviet Professor Mikhail Gerasimov, a scholar of rare objectivity, identified the Negroid type from skulls found in the Middle Mousterian period.

Etruria is probably the best example: aside from Britain; (Click here for British History) of the White Mans attempts at creating a false history for himself, and in that process, obliterating actual history. In its traditional foundation myth, Romulus and Remus are Rome's twin founders . They are descendants of the Trojan prince and refugee Aeneas, and are fathered by the god Mars or the demi-god Hercules on a royal Vestal Virgin, Rhea Silvia (also known as Ilia), whose uncle exposes them to die in the wild. They are found by a she-wolf who suckles and cares for them. The twins are eventually restored to their regal birthright, acquire many followers and decide to found a new city - Rome. The Romans are also known as Latin's: But the Latin's (or Latini, as they called themselves) were an "Original" people of ancient Italy. Quite different from the White invaders from Central Asia.

The most common hypothesis is that the Italic peoples migrated into the Italian peninsula from Central Asia, sometime during the Italian Bronze Age (ca. 1800-900 BC). The most likely route for the "so-called" Italic migration was from the Balkan peninsula along the Adriatic coast. But it is already accepted that the original Europeans were Black people (and no, they did not turn into White people because of vitamin D deficiency), Note People like the "Iceman" below, whose mitochondrial DNA belongs to the K1 subcluster of the mitochondrial haplogroup K, which appears abundantly in ancient North Africa. Also, the Latin's already existed in Italy BEFORE the White people we erroneously call Romans arrived - thus the people we call Romans could not have been italics either!

 

 

Logically then: if the people who were originally called Romans, are descendants of Black Anatolians (Troy), and if the other name that we know them by (Latin's) are a "Native" Black Italian people: then just WHO were the White people from Central Asia who usurped these names, and what name did they go by? In the process of creating their "False" history, Whites, as usual, destroyed the writings of the ancients (the last being the Etrusca Disciplina, the Etruscan books of cult and divination, which were collected and burned in the 5th century), and created "False" artifacts to backup their false historical claims (note Capitoline Wolf below). The stupid irony in all of this, is that not only have Whites wiped out the true history of the original Italians, they also wiped out their own history.

 

 

As is always the case with Europeanized history, there has always been an attempt by European Academics and researchers to establish a genetic link between modern White Europeans and Europe’s Original Black inhabitants. To that end, there has been no lack of Bogus and mis-attributed Artifacts, along with the requisite bogus history. But today, a new breed of researchers have taken the stage; a group less insecure and more honest - but still not completely honest: Though they present the data, they still present it in a confusing and obfuscating way, and they still can't seem to bring themselves to actually say it, i.e. The first Europeans were Black People and we are Albinos from Central Asia! Note the studies below: there must be some type of Phobia, peculiar only to White people.

As we know, there are three direct ways of entering Europe from Africa:

(1) Cross the Strait of Gibraltar and Enter in Spain, or Cross in Anatolia/Turkey (2) at the Bosphorus (now known as the Istanbul Strait) or (3) the Dardanelle's (formerly known as Hellespont).

We know that modern Africans (The Khoisan like Grimaldi) first entered Europe by way of the Strait of Gibraltar (circa 45,000 ya), because the oldest skeletons are found in nearby France/Monaco.

At about 7,500 ya, African FARMERS moved into Europe by way of Anatolia. These "NEW" Africans mixed with the Grimaldi Africans who were already there. Out of this mixture was born the modern Black European. For centuries, since they first "Usurped" rule in Europe, the Albinos have tried to convince the world that they are "Original" Europeans. It's a lie, and even their own scientists prove it.

 

 

 

Here is some of the nonsense the Albinos write about the Etruscans:

 

 

The study goes on to say:

Various tests show that the Tuscans (see next study below) are the Etruscans’ closest neighbors in terms of genetic distances. Despite that broad similarity, however, Etruscans and Tuscans share only two haplotypes. This finding is difficult to interpret in the absence of data on any other European population of the pre-classical period. One possible interpretation is that all or most European populations of that time period were as different from their modern counterparts as the Etruscans appear to be. This would imply either extensive gene flow or a high rate of extinction of mitochondrial haplotypes, both processes causing a drastic change of the mitochondrial pool in the last 2,500 years. More importantly, a result of that kind would force us to reconsider the universally held assumption that patterns in the DNA of modern individuals reflect the evolutionary processes affecting their prehistoric ancestors. Alternatively, should other ancient populations prove similar to comparable modern ones, one should conclude that the Etruscans’ mitochondrial sequences underwent extinction at a particularly high rate and look for an explanation for that. Until more ancient DNA data become available, both scenarios will remain possible, although we favor the latter.

 

But then they go on to say obfuscating nonsense like this:

Etruscans show closer relationships both to North Africans and to Turks than any contemporary population. In particular, the Turkish component in their gene pool appears three times as large as in the other populations. (Note: The Turks are an Albino people from Asia - now heavily admixed with the indigenous Black people of Anatolia - who first entered the west in the 6th. century A.D, and later conquered Anatolia, then called the Byzantine or Eastern Roman Empire in 1453. Obviously what these liars are seeing is the genes of the original Black Anatolians - NOT the Turks!

 

Albino scientists can't help but lie: because the alternative is to admit that they are Albinos, and invaders of Europe. So the say obfuscating things like this, see above: "Various tests show that the Tuscan's are the Etruscans’ closest neighbors in terms of genetic distances". The problem for them, is that they have no way to cross reference other studies to see if the author is furthering the Albino lies, or trying to tell the truth. In this case, there is another study debunking that lie.

 

Ancient Etruscans Unlikely Ancestors Of Modern Tuscans, Testing Reveals.

News story from the Science Daily — For the first time, Stanford university researchers have used statistical computer modeling to simulate demographic processes affecting the population of the Tuscany region of Italy over a 2,500-year time span. Rigorous tests used by the researchers have ruled out a genetic link between Ancient Etruscans, the original inhabitants of central Italy, and the region's modern day residents.

The findings indicate (as is obvious from the pictured artifacts), that the Ancient Etruscans had little in common with the people who later came to Italy, said Joanna Mountain, assistant professor of anthropological sciences. The findings as documented in ''Serial Coalescent Simulations” indicate a Weak Genealogical Relationship Between Etruscans and Modern Tuscans. The study was published May 15, 2006 in the online version of the National Academy of Sciences. Uma Ramakrishnan, a former Stanford postdoctoral fellow, and Elise M. S. Belle along with Guido Barbujani of the University of Ferrara in Italy, co-authored the paper with Mountain.

To date; the Etruscans are the only pre-classical European population that has been genetically analyzed, Mountain said. Two years ago, Italian geneticists extracted maternally inherited mitochondrial DNA from the bones of 27 people called Etruscans found in six different necropolises (burial sites) in Tuscany. The female lineage was investigated because, unlike the male Y chromosome, many copies of mitochondrial DNA are found in each cell and thus are easier to extract, Mountain explained. The finding is important because it questions the common assumption that residents of a particular place are descendants of its earlier inhabitants, Mountain said.

So who, or more correctly, WHAT are these modern White people of Europe?

They are Albinos, many now admixed with the indigenous Black Europeans they found in Europe: and who they eventually conquered and exterminated: or shipped to the Americas. They originally left Africa with, and as the Albinos, of the Black Dravidians now in India. Physically the only difference between a Black Indian, and a European, is that the European has no, or little, "Melanin" in their skin. Simply looking at a Dravidian, and a Dravidian Albino, bears this out.

 

 

 

 

The Bhatti tribe of Pakistan still produces Albinos identical to the original Germanics (see their descriptions in the writings of the Roman historian Tacitus). (Note: Pakistan was originally part of India).

Note: The "Migration Period" referenced, reflects only the movements of "MODERN ALBINO EUROPEANS": it does NOT reflect the incursions of the first Albinos from Central Asian (circa 1,200 B.C.) who became a part of the Black Greek and Roman civilizations.

Also note: the above Wiki article is not intended as a citation, it is merely to demonstrate that even some Albinos academics acknowledge that their people are NOT native to Europe "Proper". However, in true lying Albino fashion, the Wiki article goes on to say:

 

To put the above paragraph into lucid though, let us paraphrase:

"God laid down the Albinos in Scandinavia and said "Go forth and Multiply".

No word on how they got to Scandinavia, or where they came from, so obviously God just dropped them there!

This is totally in keeping with the various Albino founding myths:

First they were the original Europeans.

Then they were the original Black Europeans, but they turned White because they weren't getting enough vitamin "D".

When we said, that's nonsense, you're Albinos: they said that they're NOT Albinos because Albinos have "BAD EYESIGHT" and they don't. (They never explain why the Africans with "GOOD EYESIGHT" are still Albinos, but they aren't. (Shouldn't we call those many African Albinos who overwhelmingly have good eyesight "Europeans" or some such thing)?

 

And now they say that White Europeans: what, grew out of a "Cabbage patch" in Scandinavia, and from there conquered the world?

Click here for the complete story of European Albinos.

 

Genetics clearly traces the Dravidians, and their Albinos, out of Africa, into India, and finally, into Europe. (The predominate Haplogroup of White/Albino Europeans is Y-dna Haplogroup "R").

 

Haplogroup R (Y-DNA)

In human genetics, Haplogroup R is a Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup, a subgroup of haplogroup P, defined by the M207 mutation.

This haplogroup is believed to have arisen around 26,800 years ago, somewhere in Central Asia or South Asia, where its ancestor Haplogroup P is most often found at polymorphic frequencies. Cambridge University geneticist Kivisild et al. (2003) suggests that southern and western Asia might be the source of this haplogroup:

Given the geographic spread and STR diversities of sister clades R1 and R2, the latter of which is restricted to India, Pakistan, Iran, and southern central Asia, it is possible that southern and western Asia were the source for R1 and R1a differentiation.

The R haplogroup is common throughout Europe and western Asia and the Indian sub-continent, and in those whose ancestry is from within these regions. It also occurs in North and Sub-Saharan Africa.

 

 

 

 

 

The "Real" History

 

 

Malta

 

On the Island of Malta, the Ghar Dalam culture is the earliest known phase of Malta culture. At the Cave Ghar Dalam the earliest evidence of human settlement on Malta, some 7,400 years ago was found. Because of debris left by these ancient Humans, this cave is also a veritable depository of semi-fossilized remains and extinct species such as dwarf elephants and hippopotami which roamed the island some 250,000 years ago, ostensibly when it was still part of the mainland.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It is suggested that a rise in sea level stranded these large mammals on the island and that the lack of food caused the dwarf versions to evolve. This theory is however challenged by the existence of Pygmy Hippopotamus native to the forests and swamps of western Africa – particularly in the country of Liberia.

 

 

 

 

During the neolithic Age from 5,000 to 4,500 B.C, the cave was also one of the sites used by a new wave of man who crossed to the Maltese islands from Sicily via a land bridge. By 3,600-3,000 B.C, Temples began to be constructed, simply at first, but then increasingly more sophisticated. So that by 3,000 B.C, construction had become very sophisticated: such as the immense stone blocks and the intricate facades of Hagar Qim.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

During the Temple building phase, Egyptian influence on the Maltese is evident in the manner in which they built their tombs and temples and buried their dead. (However, the nature of their statuary, particularly their “Mother Goddesses” which are depicted as Steatopygia females, indicates ethnic commonality with the peoples of the Cyclades islands in the Aegean Sea, and the civilization at Catal Huyuk in Anatolia (Turkey). These civilizations trace their begins to the ancient Khoisan of Southern Africa (Grimaldi man); who were the first “Fully Modern Humans” to cross over to Europe in about 45,000 B.C). Click here for more on Grimaldi Man >>>

 


This phase of Malta culture came to a sudden end at about 2,000 B.C, possibly as a result of invasions. The culture that replaced it, of Mycenaean flavor, is evidenced today only by fragmentary remains; Bronze Age tools and weapons have been found at Borg in-Nadur (near Birzebbuga) and Tarxien Cemetery (near Paola), while Iron Age relics from about 1,200 to 800 B.C, include cart ruts at Bingemma (near Nadur Tower).

 

 

 

 

 

The Phoenicians

 

At around 700 B.C, the White Greeks settled on Malta, especially around the area where Valletta now stands. A century later; Phoenician traders, who used the islands as a stop on their trade routes from the eastern Mediterranean to Great Britain, (from where they obtained Tin, which when smelted with copper (from Cyprus) created the durable metal alloy bronze; Strabo states that there was a highly lucrative Phoenician trade with Britain for tin). They also joined the natives on the island. The Phoenicians inhabited the area now known as Mdina, and its surrounding town of Rabat, which they called Maleth. The later arriving Romans, who also lived in Mdina, referred to it (and the island) as Melita.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cyrus the Great conquered Phoenicia in 539 B.C. After the fall of Phoenicia proper; the area came under the control of the Phoenician colony in North Africa called Carthage, (which was founded in 814 B.C, under Pygmalion, King of Tyre), it's remains are a suburb of Tunis in present-day Tunisia. During this time, the people on Malta mainly cultivated olives and carobs, and produced textiles.

During the First Punic War (wars with Rome) of 218 B.C, tensions led the Maltese people to rebel against Carthage and turn control of their garrison over to the Roman Republic consul Sempronius. Malta remained loyal to Rome during the Second Punic War and the Romans rewarded it with the title Foederata Civitas, a designation that meant it was exempt from paying tribute or the rule of Roman law, although at this time it fell within the jurisdiction of Sicilia province. Finally, in 146 B.C, after a third war with Rome, Carthage suffered total destruction. It was rebuilt as a Roman colony in 44 B.C. The ancient Phoenician language survived in use as a vernacular in some of the smaller cities of North Africa at least until the time of St. Augustine, bishop of Hippo (5th century A.D).

Around 100 A.D, the Maltese Islands were a thriving part of the Roman Empire, being promoted to the status of Municipium under Hadrian. The Bible in the Acts of the Apostles, relates that during 60 A.D, Jesus Christ's apostle Saint Paul, was shipwrecked on the northern shore of the island at Saint Paul's Bay, being received by the person who would be known to posterity as Saint Publius, and stayed in Malta for three months, introducing Christianity and performing various miracles.

When the Roman Empire split into Eastern and Western divisions in the 4th century, Malta fell under the control of the Greek speaking Byzantine Empire from 395 to 870 A.D, which ruled from Constantinople. Although Malta was under Byzantine rule for four centuries, not much is known from this period. There is evidence that Germanic tribes, including the Goths and Vandals, briefly took control of the islands before the Byzantines launched a counter attack and retook Malta.

Euphemius was a Byzantine admiral, Probably born in Messina Sicily, and may have been non-White; at about 826 A.D, he proclaimed himself emperor in Syracuse, and the whole territory of the islands. He was subsequently defeated by Byzantine troops and escaped to Ifriqiya (North Africa), where he asked for help from the Arabs to take Sicily and Malta from the Byzantines. In 827 A.D, he returned to Sicily with a large Arab fleet. Euphemius was killed later that year during an attack on Enna, but the Arabs were successful in taking the Islands.

The Arabs introduced new irrigation methods, new fruits and cotton, and the Siculo-Arabic language was adopted on the islands, and from Sicily to Southern Italy: it would eventually evolve into the Maltese language. The native Christians were allowed freedom of religion, but had to pay an extra tax. The Normans from the Duchy of Normandy successfully invaded Sicily and the Maltese Islands in 1091 A.D, and "Roger I" was warmly welcomed by the native Christians. The Maltese offered to fight for him and in response Roger reportedly tore off a portion of his flag, half-red half-white, presenting it to the Maltese; this formed the basis of the flag of Malta.

The Catholic Church was re-instated as the state religion, with Malta under the See of Palermo. Norman architecture sprung up around Malta, especially in its ancient capital Mdina. Tancred of Sicily, the last Norman monarch, made Malta and Gozo a feudal lordship or fief within the kingdom, and a Count of Malta was instituted. The kingdom passed on to the House of Hohenstaufen from 1194 until 1266 A.D, and Malta was part of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation for 72 years. It was under Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II of Hohenstaufen (1194 – 1250 A.D.), that all remaining Muslims were expelled from Malta (in 1224 A.D.) and the entire Christian male population of Celano in Abruzzo, was exported to Malta to replace them - Thus Malta became a purely White Island.

 

 

 

The Etruscans

 

 

 

 

 

Having established the true race of the Etruscans, let us now learn about their civilization.

 

 

The Etruscans

 

Etruscans were members of the ancient civilization of Etruria, a country in what is now Italy. Their urban civilization is though to have started well before 800 B.C. But it's true beginnings cannot be ascertained, because their literature, especially the Etrusca Disciplina, the Etruscan books of cult and divination, were collected and burned in the 5th century A.D. by White Christian elements. Some say the Etruscans were originally pelasgians (the original people of Greece), some say that they were Phrygian migrants from Anatolia. But both of those theories seem to miss the fact that the entire area was inhabited by Black people, since about 45,000 B.C, when Grimaldi man first entered Europe. Therefore there is absolutely no reason why the Etruscans could not have evolved In situ.

 

All that remains of Etruscan writings are inscriptions like this.

 

If past behavior is any guide, the ridiculous dating of Etruscan civilization to 800-900 B.C, by White people, is in response to the Etruscans being scientifically proven to be Black people. That very late dating, would serve to make it seem that they were not truly "Ancient". The Etruscans called themselves "Rasenna" which was syncopated to Rasna or Raśna. Those that joined the "Sea People" exodus were known as the Tyrrhenians.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Etruscan pendant (below), which has several Swastika symbols (an ancient sign for good luck), connects Etruscans with ancient Nubia (Sudan) on whose pottery it is first found: and also the Indus valley civilization, as well as the Mesopotamian civilizations. The design of their chariots is similar to Egyptian Chariots - one rider, two horses.

 

 

 

 

The Etruscan cities were large, and in all ways comparable to cities of the other great ancient civilizations. Etruscan state government, like others of those times, was a theocracy (the king was deified, and considered a god). Their religion employed elaborate cults and rituals.

 

Very little is known about their social and civic structure, except that their city-states weren't particularly unified. The heads of Etruscan cities, apparently at times, met to discuss military and political affairs. But apart from this, the Etruscans could be considered, as many ancient sources describe them, “duodecim populi Eturiae” or “the twelve peoples of Eturia”, (the twelve peoples, referring to the twelve major city-states).

 

 

 

 

 

^Whites can't help themselves. A fisherman dressed like that, who could afford such a fine statue?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Although the divisions between the Etruscan states were not as extreme as those found in other areas; like Sumer, where they were constantly at war with each other. Still, these individual Etruscan states were strange in that they apparently felt no obligation to cooperate with each other, and provide aid to each other in times of need. Consequently they had no mechanism to unify, when faced with a common threat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Their agriculture was advanced and efficient, and their trading and commercial relationships were far ranging and profitable. Mining and the commerce of metal, especially copper and iron, led to the enrichment of the Etruscans and to the expansion of their influence in the Italian peninsula and the western Mediterranean sea.

 

 

 

Paestum

Around the end of the 7th century B.C, colonists from the Greek city of Sybaris founded the city of Paestum near Naples (and originally known as Poseidonia). Outside of archaeological evidence very little is known about Paestum during its first centuries. Archaeological evidence indicates that the city was expanding with the building of roads, temples and other features of a growing city. Paestum is also renowned for its painted tombs, mainly belonging to the period of the Lucanian rule, while only one of them dates to the Greek period. It was found, on 3 June 1968, in a small necropolis some 1,5 km south of the ancient walls. The burial monument was named Tomb of the Diver (Italian: Tomba del tuffatore) after the enigmatic scene, depicted on the covering slab, of a lonely young man diving into a stream of water.
