boingboing is a great glass-bottomed boat.

The target of the link in the first post has been removed. I happened on it again here.

The Phoenician and the Etruscan have much in common. Yes, cool!

The Phoenician and the Etruscan have much in common.

Yes, they did. One important Etruscan text is a bilingual one in Phoenician: the Pyrgi tablets (link). Phoenician is very close to Biblical Hebrew and Etruscan is a language isolate.

Nice articles, leading from one thing to another.

thanks!
