It's still unclear whether the 'damage' and the 'damage from looting' were the same. Presumably, some of the buildings were damaged in the kinds of attacks that (partially or totally) destroyed the others.

I’ll tell you something you may not be aware of…

In those days those big black beams (“volitsia” we called them) used to make ceilings which formed the basis of the rooftops, were pretty expensive to buy so pinching those would’ve been a priority for looters and that would also explain why some abandoned houses ended up without a rooftop and not so much wear & tear!

And we thought you wanted ENOSIS...It was our roof beams all along.....

We have a fetish... any left in London?

Hepsi can, biz patlican.

I dont think that expression translates well TC. You try. I wont laugh. Promise.

No it doesn't translate well, but it makes a good point!

Be careful with GR. He is going through a slow 'metamorphosis'. I dont know the end result yet. He might even join forces with us to expel the Greeks.

We should be proud of our boy...He is very nearly a man!!!

Still hurting!

I'm still taking the painkillers. The swelling has gone down, but the pain is still there.

Not since 1666, I'm afraid.

I did acknowledge myself that lots of material would have been looted/recycled, so I don't know why you're saying it like I didn't. In fact, I had photographs of a building in Turkey that had had its roof timber taken (to show what happened to buildings in Cyprus), but they were on my camera when it was "confiscated".

But some of the attacked buildings would have been damaged, not destroyed, and some of those would look the same as buildings that had had things looted/recycled from them. That's all I was saying.

Here's what prompted me to write you about the beams...

Actually, Agios Sozomenos/Arpalik is a good example of how well mudbrick can survive without repair. All of the roofs have gone, but a lot of the walls are still standing, some of them two storeys high, some of them still with plaster on.
