i m still waiting to find out if those people they found 7000 years ago are greeks or turks does anyone know

...and it seems that you will be waiting for a long time for somebody to answer this to you. What's up with you mate? Can't you read? My previous post clearly stated where these people came from.

i think Cyprus has a pretty decent history that can be thought, its a sensitive subject and if its going to be written to be thought then it has to be done in a very balanced way

but unfortunately we cant even aggree on our history ourselves let alone teaching them to others

I agree with Shah…we have a decent history. But History is not only the wars, the fights and the killings! History is the ancient buildings, customs, traditions…

But free_cyprus why you insist so much on the Choirokitia issue and why you wonder about the history? You don’t know?

Just a small correction - Choirokitia dates back to 7000 BC and not 3500BC as I posted earlier.

Choirokoitia (also known as Khirokitia) is one of the most important prehistorical sites in the eastern Mediterranean area. The site is only partly recovered, and archaelogical work is still going on.

Human life in Choirokoitia started around 7000 BC, in the Neolithicum. Where the people came from is not known for sure. It is possible that the neolithic villages on Cyprus were a result of colonization from the Middle East.

What do we know about the people that lived here? The village probably had about 300 inhabitants. They practised agriculture and animal husbandry, and didn't usually live longer than 35 years. One of their most remarkable customs was to bury their dead under the floors of the houses of the living relatives. In this way the dead remained close to the living.

Here are some links to Unesco World Herritage Website about Choirokitia

FC, The Turkish nation didn't exist 7000 years ago. I don't think they were Greek either. They were Cypriots!!!
