▶ Your Answer :
The reading passage contends that Etruscan came from
Turkey. On the other hand, the lecturer brings up several points that
contradict this argument.
First of all, the lecturer questions the validity of the point in the
reading passage that the DNA evidence suggests that the Etruscans migrated from
Turkey. This is attributed to the fact that the
remains found in Etruscan grave sites must have been
too damaged to be scrutinized. (because
these are to old to scrutinize.) In addition, it is hard to say that the genetic markers link the Etruscans to the
ancient Turks because the evidence could be contaminated. Thus, the reading
passage’s
first point is contradicted.
Moreover, the lecturer casts
doubt on the point made by the reading passage that the language of the
Etruscans represents that they have Turkish roots. This is because while there
are some similarities between Etruscan and Turkish, it is possible that
different languages are able to use the same alphabet. Furthermore, their
language is different from today’s language used in Italy, but it can be the only surviving member of its language family.
Consequently, the reading passage’s second point is
invalid.
Last but not least, the lecturer disagrees with the point made in the
reading passage that Turks and Etruscan share funerary practices. It is obvious
that cremation tradition had disappeared a
thousand years before the Etruscans emerged.
(when there was no existence of Etruscans.) In detail, Etruscans may be the
successor of this tradition in the local region. As a result, with such
reasoning, the reading passage’s final point is refuted.
