Commentary

There appear to be 43 separate linen panels upon which the writings appear.The cadence of the lines follows a pattern as well. This text, like the Tavola Cortonensis, does not use the character, "K." The two texts use "C" and . Also another common character between the two scripts is the character for "F" which is: . They share a similar way of writing the "M," but the Tavola Cortonensis probably shows the proper way the letter was written, whereas the hand writing on Zagreb Mummy was less stylized: . Both texts use three characters denoting various forms of the "S." These are:, , and .

The first panels as listed below are a prayer. One could conclude that it should be a prayer to god/the gods to restore the soul to life. The wrappings were never designed to be read by anyone but god. Imagine, then, as god's assistants unwrap the mummy and read the prayer as it is being unveiled, what the mummy expects them to grant. As it turns out the phrases in the top wrappings are repeated in the bottom panels, next to the body. There are formula, word groups which are repeated over and over, but sometimes with different punctuation marks, slightly changing the meaning.

As is true of the Tavola Cortonensis the language remains closest to Latin with shadows of French and Italian in the vocabulary. For example the word PVIA (appears in several other texts), spelled here, PFIA, is Italian, "puia" and French "puis", i.e., "then."

Where I am unsure about a character or word(s) they are underlined. Because of the repetitious word groups I have been able to reconstruct some words where the fabric is torn or missing.

The script is very close to Latin. In the process of the translation of this text I use the most applicable words from the vocabulary pages of this site. The vocabulary was built from a comparative analyses of words used in all the extant Etruscan texts. That analyses is the foundation, or work-sheet, for ascertaining how the words conjugated and declined. Up until this point I would copy and paste phrases--as for instance these analyzed from the Zagreb Mummy script--into the Etruscan Phrases work-sheet. Continuing that process is not necessary since the pattern--at least with regard to the Tavola Cortonensis and Zagreb Mummy Script--is very close to Latin, with shadows of Italian and French. What do I mean by "shadows of Italian and French?" When cultures come in contact words are absorbed to and fro. Sometimes the root verb is transmitted as an adjective to another language. An example is the word ETvNAM which I first read as the verb, It. espiare, "to attone for, expiare, to serve." The same verb in French is "expier" and Latin, "expiare." In French we have the word, "atonement," meaning "reconcilation, compensation, redemption, expiation." While this may be the meaning of this very repetitious word, I have bent towards the following: We atone/wonder/we are inspired (L. atttono-tonare-toni-tonitum, to be stunned, inspired, frantic; Fr. étonner and s'étonner). The word begins at Z327.

In like manner we can observe root verbs in Etruscan to be represented in Latin as nouns or adjectives.

The vowels used by the Etruscans generally coincide with the same vowel in Latin.

Conjugation patterns. As one will readily see in the vocabulary, the Etruscan words follow a consistent "regular" pattern of conjugation. The verb, sum, is irregular and recalls the French use of the verb. The verb, FAC, Latin, facio, is irregular with forms shown as FAS, FAT, etc. The Etruscan use of infinitives uses the "V" = "o" suffix as in Latin cases. The verb AMAR, "amar"conjugates as: AM, "I love," AMAS, "you loved," AMA, "he/she/it loves." AME is "you love." AMV, "amo," I read as the infinitive of this verb and the word AMVER, "amoer," AMVR, "amor," the noun. AMI I read as "friend."

The word CFA would be read as qua. The "F" is used both as a vowel, "u" and a consonant "F." Sometimes it is close to the "8" where the consonant "v" is required, as in the word, 8ERV, "vero," truth. KFA is pronounced more like chua. Another character with a "K" sound is the "K."

In the Zagreb Mummy text we have frequent declensions of the word for "three." The text addresses the concept of wrath (L. ira-ae; Etruscan IRI) and uses the word, three, in many contexts of wrath. There is a trinity of gods and if SVS = It. sosia, double, the soul has a double which becomes one with the three gods. This formula is expressed in the top and bottom panels of the wrapping. Associated with the precept are blackbirds which the narrator sometimes raises and other times the soul raises. Sometimes the blackbirds (MERLUM; It. merlo, L. merula-a) are associated with wrath, i.e., from the blackbirds of wrath you escape (L. eno-are), as in: MERLVM IRI ENAS.

While I haven't been able to verify the exact name of the woman, it is certain that she is addressed as CN. In the bottom layers of the wrapping a verse uses the word for "abbreviation" in the context of the written CN. "CN" is also used in another script. See the vocabulary.

Another often repeated word group is SAC NI and SAC NI CLERI and then SAC NI CN at Z1662. The word, sack (It. sacco; Fr. sac; L. sacculus-i) seems, in the final analyses, to refer to the mummy wrapping itself and to CN at Z1662. At Z336, in the top layers of the wrapping, and at Z1861, the bottom panel, we have the same groups of words containing the word SeREN (It. sereno, Fr. serein, "serene"). Note the juxtaposition of the same words with a shift in punctuation marks.

Translation of the Phoenician text according to Sabatino Moscati

To [our] Lady Ishtar. This is the holy place // which was made and donated // by TBRY WLNSH [= The faries
Velianas] who reigns on // Caere [or: on the Caerites], during the month of the sacrifice // to the Sun, as a gift
in the temple. He b//uilt an aedicula [?] because Ishtar gave in his hand [or: raised him with her hand] // to
reign for three years in the m//onth of KRR [=Kerer], in the day of the burying // of the divinity. And the years
of the statue of the divinity // in his temple [might be ? are ?] as many years as these stars.

This text parallels the Etruscan text. Ishtar was the mother goddess of the Phoenicians. She compares to Isis, the mother goddess of the Egyptians, and she is involved with the story of Osiris, the Egyptian god of Judgment and the dead. It is probable that the Etruscan Aph is Cybele ( who was also known for prophesy), and in the Aph.html one can see that the damage to the statue was to the genitals which probably had both male and female organs.

Attis plays a major role in the Tavola Eugubine.

In the Divine_Mirror.html we can now see the Spartan connection, since the entire story of Helen of Troy is shown on the mirror, and Helen was the Queen of Sparta who was first abducted by Theseus and restored to her throne and then ran off with Paris, the son of Priam, king of Troy. And that started the Trojan war. In the Divine_Mirror.html we see a goddess presenting Paris with a laurel crown. Next to the goddess is a deer, which is the symbol of the goddess of the hunt, either Aphaea or Artemis. The name above the goddess is MIAN. Next to Paris are the words: EL KIN TRE. Since Agamemnon (AKMEMNV), Meneleus (MENLE) and Helen's (ELINAI) names are fairly recognizable on the mirror, it would follow that Paris--also called Alexander--would also have a fairly recognizable name. Elkintre might be Alexander. MIAN might be another name for Pha/Artemis, since L. Maenas-adis, means f. a baccante, a prophetess. The connection Artemis has to the story of Troy is that she sent unfavorable winds to keep the entire invasion fleet of Agamemnon at Aulis. Then she demanded, according to the priest Calchas, the sacrifice of Agamemnon's fairest daughter. Her enmity towards Agamemnon stems from two accounts. The first is that Agamemnon boasted that he could hunt as well as Artemis. The other account places the blame on Agamemnon's father, Atreus. Atreus had promised the best lamb of his flock would be sacrificed to the goddess, but when it turned out to be the lamb born with golden fleece, he hid it from her. In this sense then we can see how the goddess would be crowning Paris to get back at Agamemnon, as well as having something to do with the prophesy that Paris would be the cause of the fall of Troy. The first of several prophesies dealing with the subject involved Aesacus, the prophetic son of Priam by Arisbe, who interpreted Priam's nightmare, that the firebrand who would set fire to Troy would be Paris. He argued that Paris should be killed. Priam gave the child to a shepherd, Agelaüs, who would expose it on Mt. Ida. The shepherd returned after five days and found that a she-bear had suckled the child. He could not bear to kill the child and reared it on his own. When he became an adult, he was readmitted back into the family of Priam, to serve as a prince. AECAI on the mirror may be Aesacus.

 PERUGIA CIPPUS

This script appears to be a record including a great queen whose name is Sarina. She appears to have been responsible for uniting the 12 cities of Etruria under a time when they were quarreling. A small bronze bust of her with her name carved on her forhead is in the Louvre. She was an extraordinarliy beautiful woman as can be seen in her bust.

This text illuminates what is discussed in Script "R." Some of this text is reconstructed from R164 & R204. Script "R" involves a celebration/prayer to the lights, which this text also addresses. Here the lights are identified as being related to the aegis, which is the shield of Zeus/Jupiter. It was loaned to Apollo and Minerva, and using it no enemy could repel them. The aegis is also considered to be the thundercloud of Zeus/Jupiter and it is the source of lightning. The Etruscans and later the Romans interpreted lightning bolts.
