THE ETRUSCAN BRONZE LIVER OF PIACENZA, ITALY An Ancient Starfinder and Calendar Deciphered by Andis Kaulins The Etruscans founded Rome. According to Herodotus they were Lydians, who may have brought the knowledge of the Pharaohs to the European Continent, including writing, as accounted in the legend of Cadmus. The Etruscan Bronze Liver of Piacenza is an ancient "Roman haruspex" known to relate to astronomy and soothsaying but it has remained undeciphered up to now. As shown here, the Etruscan Bronze Liver of Piecenza was a planisphere of the heavens, an ancient starfinder and calendar, using virtually the same system of orienting to the stars and constellations as found in the Gilbertese Sky Dome in Micronesia, as used by the islanders for ocean navigation: The Etruscan Bronze Liver of Piacenza is today in the Museo Civico, Piacenza Side View (Above) Top View (Below) It was found in 1877 in a field in Settima di Gossolengo near Piacenza, Italy .
