i tell you what changes a statue ...turkish bandits ..you should see ancient salamis ...faces of statues hacked off ,heads off etc

when i went there in aug 04 ...this guide was telling some brits ...that the site was not Greek ...until i corrected him ...pointed out some lies as uaual ....in the sea just 30metres away is the remainder of the city ....

yeah ,,,mr ng ...loads of you ....but how many are T.CS ,how many mainlanders .....? guess which group will be asked to leave ......

Come on man, from the things you say I can't help but feel that you're just talking from hear-say. I've been to the Salamis ruins loads of times, and it's probably one of my most favorite places in Cyprus. There are loooads of statues that are in good condition and never has anyone tried to tell me that the ruins aren't Greek.

TC ...I respect you bro ,.,i would not lie ...the guy was giving it romans and arabs ....and this english guy asked him about the text on the tiles ...he said some greeks built on the settlement ...my mate a old guy reads ancient greek

anyway ,..he was emabressed ....i spoke to some of the other turk cyp guys there and they said the guy was an ass ...the green line had just been open and he didnt like greeks ...

the other guys were coool i gave them a beer and we tryed to get closer to salamis underwater to take video film ...

OK well if he was an ass then that explains everything..

Divers recovered this statue of Aphrodite Anadyomene (emerging from the sea) off Nea Paphos in 1956. The statue, in the tradition of the Greek sculptor Praxiteles, is of late Hellenistic date, the first century B.C. Its preserved height is 85 cm (about 33.5 inches). (Courtesy Alexander S. Onassis Benefit Foundation (USA))
You don't want to miss From Ishtar to Aphrodite: 3200 Years of Cypriot Hellenism. Treasures from the Cyprus Museum now at the Onassis Cultural Center in New York. An outstanding exhibition, From Ishtar to Aphrodite looks at the course Hellenism in Cyprus, the eastern Mediterranean's crossroads of cultures and the mythological birthplace of Aphrodite. The 85 artifacts on display are exceptional in themselves and most have never been seen outside of Cyprus before, including a first-century marble torso of Aphrodite that is the exhibition's hallmark. If you are in New York before From Ishtar to Aphrodite closes on January 3, 2004, you should make the time to see it. This is a unique opportunity.

bro did you check the date ...on your quote ...this exhibition ends jan 3 2004 ....??????

This does not change the age of the statue!!!!

To be consistent with the truth you must always be truthful. Otherwise you lose your credibilty. But wh am I telling you this?
Aphrodite, lovely bird btw. Cyprus is lucky to have such lasses.

I recently visited the ruins and must confess that I was a bit shocked to see that the statues had been decapitated, (those which I saw) anyway.

Are there others which I may have missed I wonder?.

Were they headless through vandalism or damage due to their age? I have visited Greece many times and there were lots of statues with missing limbs and heads! I remember my first visit to Salamis and knelt on the ground to take a photo of "ancient Greek" writing on a pavement, when a very bemused Greek visitor told me it was a bit of graphiti in modern Greek!! It must be one of the few written languages that looks great anywhere!! But nevertheless I was very impressed with the frescos - you can still see the different colours etc - amazing when you think how old the place is.

Salamis was founded by the Trojan hero Teucer having been exiled from Greece by his father King Telamon. The fledgling settlement quickly grew to become the greatest Cypriot city-kingdom and a key player in the complicated wars of the Hellenic period. Salamis Bay is the unexpected highlight of many people's trip to Cyprus and you'll need a whole afternoon to really do it justice. From the car park it's a 15-minute walk to the ruins, so bring a decent pair of walking shoes and a bottle of water. One and a half millennia of neglect mean the whole area is unprotected from the elements and the site is much as it was when Arab raiders last ravaged it. Many of the obvious artefacts have been looted or damaged, but what remains is impressive and the fine Roman amphitheatre occasionally hosts the odd musical or theatrical performance.

It would seem someone here needs a history lesson, or is this Turkish properganda. TROODO
