(1/1)

Loki:
Etruscan art, made of strange demons and monsters, is emerging in a Tuscan village, in what could be one of the most important discoveries of recent times, according to scholars who have seen the paintings.

Lurking on the left wall of a 4th century B.C. tomb, the exceptionally preserved monsters have been unearthed during the ongoing excavation of the Pianacce necropolis in Sarteano, a village 50 miles from Siena, Italy.

"So far we have found some scenes of banquets, snake-like monsters, demons, a hyppocampus and a sarcophagus broken in many fragments, probably by tomb robbers. We are confident to find more art as the digging goes on," archaeologist Alessandra Minetti told Discovery News

jong:
an interesting find made at the etruscan necropolis of sorbo decades ago is a tomb painting showing a satanic-looking figure of a death demon or guide of souls to the underworld with a name written above it calling him TARUN or KARUN. remember that in greek mythology CHARON was the ferryboatman of the dead who did the same sevice, but for two obols or drachma.
