## Resource

The Real Universal Empire by Dylan Saccoccio traces the origins of Western civilization, written language, and ancient priestcraft back to the seafaring Etruscan culture of pre-Roman Italy rather than to Greece, India, or the Levant. This is the first episode of Inner Whirled, a co-hosted deep-dive series on the book and the research behind it. Topics include the Sanskrit and Indo-European origin debate, the oldest evidence of ancient alphabets and why letter count alone exposes the accepted timeline, the cultural affinity between the Etruscans and the Egyptians, why neither Herodotus nor Thucydides ever wrote about Rome, and the strange absence of ancient Italy from mainstream historical writing. This is a remastered episode originally published March 7th 2024. Watch the video version: https://youtu.be/4SOh3qBLkBY Remote Biofield Tuning sessions with Chance are available via Zoom.
