Phoenician Inscription (Hebrew Alphabet):
לרבת לעשתרת אשר קדש אז, אש פעל ואש יתן, תבריא ולנש, מלך על כישריא. בירח זבח שמש, במתן אבבת. ובנתו כ עשתרת ארש בדי, למלכי שנת שלש, בירח כרר, בים קבר אלם. ושנת למאש אלם בבתי שנת כם הככבם אל.
English translation;
To the Lady Astarte; this sanctuary which was made and was dedicated by Thefarie (Tiberius) Velianas; King over Caere, in the month of the sacrifice of the sun-god, as a gift and as a temple. And I built it because Astarte requested it of me, in the third year of my reign, in the month of Kirar, on the day of the burial of the deity. So may the years of the statue of the deity in her temple be years like these stars!
Italian translation:
Per la Signora Astarte, questo santuario, che è stato fatto ed è stato dedicato da Thefarie (Tiberio) Velianas; re su Caere, nel mese del sacrificio del dio-sole, come un dono e come un tempio. E l'ho costruito perché Astarte ha chiesto di me, nel terzo anno del mio regno, nel mese di Kirar, il giorno della sepoltura della divinità. Se l 'anno della statua della divinità nel suo tempio essere anni come queste stelle!

This bilingual Phoenician-Etruscan text was inscribed on three gold lamina (2 Etruscans and one Phoenician) was unearthed in 1964 at Santa Severa in Italy which was ancient Pyrgi; the port of Caere (Cerveveteri). These Lamina are now preserved in the Museo Nazionale Di Villa Giulia in Rome.

Another unique video, Tony. I know little about the Etruscans but this makes me curious to know more.

@TheAncientScribes The Etruscan civilisation was completely asssimilated and eclipsed by the Romans. Little is known about it and also Etruscan Inscriptions including this one have not been completely deciphered yet. Without the Hebrew Bible the Phoenician language and civilisation would have had the same destiny as Etruscan! Thank you again for your comments and ongoing friendship!

excellent video and great work Toni :) you gave us nice infromations, nice information about "b d y" bodi "through me" , in my hands, in hebrew "byady" and "badi" in ugaritic and "badi" in old canaanite :)

[ahhc07]

@Malkibaal Thank you my dear friend. What book would you recommend to study the Cannanite Ugaritic inscriptions?

[Efteling4Ever]

@ahhc07 Unialastres probably does not contain the name Astarte. -tres is a case form of a suffix -tra which in Etruscan is placed behind the Ablative case (Unialas is the Ablative of Uni "Juno"). The function of -tres is not fully clear. It may be "for" Uni or "by" Uni. So the Etruscan tablets mentions Uni and the Punic one Astarte.

[Efteling4Ever]

@ahhc07 As a matter of fact Etruscan is 100% non-Indo European. It has absolutely nothing in common with Indo-European. It would be like saying Dutch is very much like Chinese. There is not a single serious Indo-Europeanist that accepts Etruscan as Indo-European. A link with Slavonic is absolutely ridiculous.

@VendPrekmurec There're no such things as ''Greek/Latin/ Aryan'' words in nature. the alleged ''Greek'' word Peles comes from Russian ''Ples'' - a quite gulf which in turn comes from Hebrew ''Peles'' - even water surface. while the Slavic root ''Ply''[vati]'' - to swim comes from the Hebrew ''Peleg'' - a stream/ river. as far as Amazons are concerned, Abkhaz and Adyge people claim them, not Slavs. in conclusion. the Russian ''Parus'' - 'Sail', too comes from the Hebrew ''Paros'' meaning same.

[VendPrekmurec]

@MrViTopol Pelasgians called old Greece "Graecia" - which means "hilly land". Hellenes called Pelasgians "Sea People" = Veneti... / tribes of Raseni (Etruscans)... "Pelas" in old Greek means "sea", when in Slavic means "to sail" (Pluti, pelati - to drive). Pelasgians were Trojan (Enetic) - Venetic allies. They fought among Scynthian Amazons (in slavic still today means "Amazon" - "Amozhenka" or "it is the masculine woman"...
