Rise TV Show Discovers First Etruscan Pyramids of Italy
Major Key Points:- Archaeologists from the U.S. and Italy discovered the first Etruscan pyramid beneath a wine cellar in Orvieto, Italy. The subterranean structures were carved into the Tufa plateau rock, with only the topmost modern layer visible. Initial observations revealed antique stairs indicating Etruscan construction and a system of tunnels beneath the wine cellar. The excavation uncovered various historical layers with artefacts like Attic ceramics and Etruscan pottery. The deepest level excavated dates back to the mid-5th century B.C., with an underground passage leading to another pyramidal structure. The Etruscans, flourishing around 900 B.C. and absorbed by the Roman Empire between 300 and 100 B.C., were influential in various cultural aspects.
