The bronze statues that rewrite Italy's history: Stunning before-and-after photos show figurines preserved in Mediterranean mud for over 2,000 years in their full glory
-More than 24 bronze statues were discovered in ancient thermal springs in Tuscany, central Italy
-The statues are said to rewrite Italy's history between the Etruscan civilisation and the Roman Empire
-The Etruscan civilisation controlled Italy for centuries before losing power to the Romans
-The 2,000-year-old statues, however, suggest the groups lived in harmony even though they were at war
-The bronzes include depictions of Greek gods and goddesses and bear both Etruscan and Latin inscriptions
