The "Piacenza Liver" is one of the most extraordinary Italian archeological findings, a life-sized bronze model of a sheep's liver covered in Etruscan inscriptions. From this artifact we have been able to learn some incredible information regarding the tradition of Etruscan divination. This talk will introduce the basic techniques and mythological origins of Etruscan magic and its profound connection with the Mesopotamians, drawing connections that will span from the Enūma Eliš (Myth of Creation) to Chthonic Hermes, Enoch's Book and the Qumran scrolls.
