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
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.
[b]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." [/b]
So Britain was not only inhabited but also had a name and "Pytheas the Greek" DISCOVERED it.
Another case of Turkish Delight is Greek.
Turkish Coffee is Greek.
Turkish yogurt is Greek.
The Greeks are not only liars and Myth creators but they also DISCOVER things that already exists and claim it as a NEW DISCOVERY.
Silly sock-puppet.
... I didn't say anything bad about Turks / TCs.
