Historical Records [ nSf

There are two great nations of an
tquity whose inscriptions cannot yet
be read-the Etruscans and the Hit
tites. The Etruscans occupied a part
OF Italy corresponding roughly to what
is now known as Tuscany. The Hit
tites at one time occupied a part OF
Palestine, and united with the Canaan
ties to resist the invasion by the
lsraelites under Joshua. The Etrus-
can and Hittite inscriptions have thus
far resisted the attempts of scholars
to decipher them, though no one
knows when someone may stumble on
bilingual inscription which will serve
as key, just as the Rosetta stone, dis
covered in Egypt in 1899. served as a
key to the Egyptian hieroglyphics. In
the new world. the so-called Maya in
scriptions, found on the ruins in Yucca
tan, are also a puzzle to scientists
