Archaeoastronomy – The Link Between Stars And Stones
Archeoastronomy is a fairly recent discipline that combines the simulation of ancient skies and their relationship with archaeological ruins and historical monuments.
Read moreWhat has been over the years centre of interest for Archaeologists and Anthropologists it is the incredible effects ancient civilizations had on the evolution of human beings; this happened in a very short time.
Everything starts with the early human (hominids) that for centuries followed Palaeolithic schemes to live on (2.5M of years ago); they then learnt the art of agriculture and cattle breeding to better survive (10.000 years ago). In some excavation that go back to the Palaeolithic times, researchers found rough tools made out of stone that lead them to a much more interesting discovery; buildings, palaces, temples, artefacts made with iron. The usual hominid in a short time transformed himself to Architect, Engineer, Artisan.
All cultures talk about deities coming from the sky, accompanied by rumbles of thunder and flames; our creators came down on earth to make it more habitable and show the human race new techniques to take advantage of the natural resources. The hominids literally witness the greatest change in the history of Humankind.
It is for this reasons that all human cultures remember the same events or occurrences in the form of Legends or Myths.
From the first ancient brahmin tablets, the cuneiform scripts of Ur, to the Bible where Isaiah describes the arrival from the sky of gods descending on burning chariots; we see the transmission of knowledge, lows and rules to the Humankind (Moses). Moreover, another occurrence that is mentioned by all civilizations is the Great Flood.
Throughout the centuries, each civilization transformed and developed forms of cults and myths, but all of them when deeply studied seem to belong to a common original matrix.
In Archaic Knowledge we investigate on myth, rituals, and legends common to the great civilizations of the Humankind. Our History is a lot more complex than what it looks.

First of all it is useful to state that for the Etruscans the Gods communicate through the use of Thunderbolts (the divine lightning). This divine sign used to be interpreted by the Etruscans using three types of classification. These signs could be understood by the adoption of the TEMPLUM Model that allowed the interpretation of the divine messages. Through rituals it was possible then to modify their effects or even obtain redemption.
Nine were the Gods allowed to throw Thunderbolts on Earth; amongst them only Tinia (Tin) could throw three (one for each one of his celestial places)…

Etruscan Discipline
The Etruscan Discipline is the complex of all spiritual magic techniques and principles the Etruscans used to embrace for their society.
