Shiva Linga found in Vatican City?

Yes, in Italy around the 11th or 10th century BCE and finished by around 27 BCE there was a flourishing and full fledged civilization called the Etruria who had a huge influence on the Roman who later became their subduers.

We need to know all of this and be proud of our Vishwaguru status that we always held and will not sit calm till we restore that by going back to our roots. If we want the Sat Yug or Krita Yuga back then we need to first begin becoming like the people of those times – True Sanatanis.
