Artist's Comments

Old and dead Etruscans have one single privilege left:
They were buried in a beautiful environment.

Taken in Cerveteri, Italy.

Yep, old fashioned burial ground! Though I have to disappoint you -- most Etruscans were already dug up with big ass shovels and other nice archaeological instruments, so you'd have to dig real good to find yourself a nice fresh one.

Haha, the world would have been a different place indeed!

Thank you very much for your kind comment :) It really was a lovely day when we went to Cerveteri (we had a heatwave during our stay in Italy). And yes, I did get to explore the city of the dead! The graves are mostly 'artifical' round hills completely overgrown by plants and such. There were usually small openings or doors on one side, so we actually could get in to see how it looked like on the inside.
