I know that the idea of a connection between Etruscan and
Egyptian sounds a little outlandish, but I just read in THE ATLAS OF
LANGUAGES by Comrie et al., pp. 188-189,
"The longest single Etruscan document yet discovered was found not
in Italy but in Egypt. A Croatian travelling in Egypt in the nineteenth
century acquired for the Zagreb National Museum a mummy which was
entombed in linen bandages with an inscription of about 1,200 words
detailing a sacred Etruscan calendar. Why and how such a document came
to wrap an Egyptian mummy is unknown."
