Again, just because they feature a Greek style of architecture DOES NOT MEAN they were built by Greeks or the Greeks ruled Cyprus! It's precisely what they new theories are trying to get across.


:lol:

This is the most ridiculous statement ever.

Are you implying that it was The Choirokitians that built Salamis? :lol: How is this possible without the input of Greeks? :lol:

Explain this then....

The Myceneans were also Greeks, and it was these Greeks that migrated to Cyprus on a massive scale.

Thanks...

The fall of the Mycenean Civilization took place within 1300 and 1000 BC, and rather than have attributed its downfall to an outside influence, Mycenea fell by its own hands.

And you want to claim that after falling they came and conquered Cyprus? Image

I guess 5000 years from now when they discover my house in ruins they'll be convinced that it was built by aliens because I've borrowed ideas from all over the world.

You seem to forget what was posted earlier....

Cyprus is the mythical birthplace of Aphrodite, Adonis and home to King Cinyras, Teucer and Pygmalion.[12] The earliest confirmed site of human activity is Aetokremnos, situated on the south coast, indicating that hunter-gatherers were active on the island from around 10,000 BC, with settled, village communities dating from 8200 BC. Important remains from this early Neolithic period can be found at Shillourokambos, Kastros, and Khirokitia, where decorated pottery and figurines of stone quite distinct from the cultures of the surrounding mainland survive. The Mycenaean Greeks first reached Cyprus around 1600 BC, with settlements dating from this period scattered all over the island. Another wave of Greek settlement is believed to have taken place in the period 1100-1050 BC, with the island's predominantly Greek character dating from this period. Several Phoenician colonies were founded in the 8th century BC, like Kart-Hadasht ('New Town'), near present day Larnaca and Salamis.


And just because the Mycenean Civilization fell in between 1300-1000BC, makes no difference as the migration to Cyprus commenced in 1600BC. The fall of the Mycenean Civilization could have also been another precursor for further mass migration to Cyprus in 1050BC.

I might add a plaque on my front door that says…”Note to historians: This house was not built by aliens but by a simple local who pinched ideas from others”. :lol:

Instead of puting a plaque at your door, you should head back to where you came from....The Planet Moron.
