On the contrary, the professor points out that his writing was not always reliable. For example, Herodotus recorded in his books that there was a kind of huge insects in a distant country which could eat people. This unbelievable story indicates that Herodotus’ writing was not necessarily true.

　　Secondly, the reading states that the Tyrrhenian inscriptions found on an island near Turkey shows the origin of Etruscans. However, the lecture refutes the idea by saying that it could be just the opposite. Since Etruscans were good seafarers, they could probably sail for the island and left the inscriptions there. Therefore, it is likely that the language on the island came from Etruscans, not the other way around.

　　Finally, although the author believes that the genetic similarity of cows demonstrates

　　Etruscans’ Turkish origin, the professor argues that the cows cannot represent their owners. Because Etruscans were good traders, they could easily import some cows from Italy and then start breeding them. Thus, the third argument in the reading is also denied by the professor.
