The archaeological record demonstrates worldwide cultural diffusion that dates long before the chronological record supposes. Is the chronological record wrong? Does the archaeological record consist of forgeries? Cultural diffusion occurred in the ancient past where the required skillsets and resources were only available to a few nations. Hardly anyone who broaches this subject mentions the nation most likely responsible for it: Etruria. The early history of Rome and Greece is too legendary to be factual. For those interested in rectifying history in Europe, North Africa, and the Near East, read The Real Universal Empire.
