Yes all very true. From another point of view haven't the natives of said countries always fought and voiced there concerns about who occupied and discovered what ? Recording is they key word, previous discovery was not recorded, and civilised world ? on who's interpretation ?

Incoherent Mumbo Jumbo .... sounds like you have not recovered from the shock.

What came first, the chicken or the egg ?

The egg.

(The "egg" that gave rise to the "chicken" was a reptile ..... )

Ladies and Gentlemen,

A pilgrimage to the ancient Sotira and Choirokitia to honor our ancestors is in order!

Who’s up for it?

I will be there in spirit GR. At least these ancestors are not Hellenic.- Not that I have anything against Hellenism - why, Turkey is built upon Hellenism.

I'd like to take you there when you next come to Cyprus...

I have been there before you were a mere sparkle in your fathers eye. Thanks for the offer. Perhaps I need updating. I am doing a 'time and motion' study for the 2 weeks I will be there. I want to discover the Paphos area where I am not familiar with. If I find time, I might even see the family.

purdey, there is a lot more proof about the origin of Cypriots than the origin of the English and most others, since the time that we had a civilization and we could write to record our history, people of Britannia where still living in caves eating roots. So please don't try to teach us our history. Better investigate yours which is a lot less clear than our.

If you want to learn about the history of Cyprus then open a few books instead of making totally uneducated speculations.

Maybe purdey could start with this:

Pytheas the Greek Discovered Britain

What a c
Pytheas (ca. 380 BC-ca. 300 BC), a Greek explorer from the city of Massalia in southern France, traveled all the way around Britain.

Pytheas sailed from Brittany to Land's End in Cornwall, the southwestern tip of Britain. From Cornwall, Pytheas sailed north through the Irish Sea between Britain and Ireland all the way to the northern tip of Scotland, probably going as far as the Orkney Islands. Pytheas finally turned south and completed his circumnavigation of Britain.

Along the way, he stopped and traveled for short distances inland and described the customs of the inhabitants. The inhabitants lived on wild berries and "millet" and made mead.

He was certainly the first to circumnavigate Britain, and first to write on British ethnography. Pytheas also correctly described Britain as triangular, accurately estimated its circumference at 4,000 miles (6,400 km) within 2.5% of modern estimates.

He recorded the local name of the islands in Greek as Prettanike, which Diodorus later rendered Pretannia. This supports theories that the coastal inhabitants of Cornwall may have called themselves Pretani or Priteni, 'Painted' or 'Tattooed' people, a term Romans Latinised as Picti (Picts). He is quoted as referring to the British Isles as the "Isles of the Pretani."

What a crock of SHIT!

How can one "discover" a place that already has people living on it!

Obviously you are not the first one there are you idiot!

According to you there would be no existence without the Greeks, thanks for discovering EVERYTHING you guys rock, now move on and grow the fuck up!

doesnt that make him Gaulic. Or is Gaul Greek too?

[purdey]

Of course it is Mumbo Jumbo Phoenix, because these discoveries were not recorded. There is far more to history than what is written, unfortunately we have been highjacked by historians and theorists who tend to be blinkered and not of one voice.

Everyone and everything is Greek!

From the Gods in the sky to all the lands on the ground, all animals and all human knowledge is Greek!

Where would the world be without Greeks

Thank you Greeks, the world owes you a great deal!

Sorry purdey ... they were recorded!

Since 1923, which seems to be the starting used on this thread, neither Greece or Turkey have colonised Cyprus. Prior to 1923 all Cypriots were technically Turkish. Between 1923 and 1960 all Cypriots were technically British. After 1960 all Cypriots were citizens of independent and sovereign Republic whose constitution allowed for Greek and Turkish communities.

Right, so did the French, Italians, or Greeks become Germans when Nazi Germany occupied them?

Are the Iraqis now Americans because the US has invaded and occupied them?

Your theory that a people lose their ethnicity or origins when occupied by an invader is clearly nonsense.

This is the guy that keeps telling me that my education is insufficient What a waste of money on yours GR...Your parents should ask for their money back from you........Every bloody penny!!!

11th Commandment....

Though shalt not keep putting foot in mouth!!!



Why am I saying all this you ask!!!........Because this is all you have been saying to us all along...We, as Turkish Cypriots will disappear because of Turkish occupation. You and Boomers go to the back of the class..........Your punishment will follow later!!!

Contradiction No. God knows!!!!

Oh Hi Zan ...

You're not mad at me though right ... I didn't say anything bad about Turks / TCs.

..... I was just picking on the Brits. and chickens.

If you believe modern paeleontology, we are all East African, or possibly Ethiopian and people inhabiting Cyprus now are the descendents of any number of human tribes who split off and came to live here.

If you're a believer in myths, we could all be Greek or Babylonian or Jewish ... and Cyprus could be Greek.
