We don't have soil in Paphos...Only rocks!
..and the imported sand for the beaches. Perhaps that is why I was never taken there. Coming from farming stock etc. Perhaps just enough soil to grow vineyards and almond trees. Still, it looks pretty green on Google earth.
Our solo Chiroikitian must feel very lonely, not unlike the Lochness 'monster'. Surviving all these years in isolation / loneliness.
I was about to get to that Deniz. At around 1,500BC (Piratis can confirm this or correct me if I am wrong ), the Mycenaeans and Arcadians came to Paphos. They decided to build a settlement and they traded their wares which included shipping tonnes of beach sand and soil by trireme errr.. I mean by boat. Triremes were not invented by then.
They shipped proper soil from the motherland, and as Paphians we are now able to grow vineyards and bananas. I have the evidence, but my research is always ongoing.
As for the "missing link", it appears that he is the product of inbreeding over many generations.
My next research paper will about about "The Rise and Fall of The Third Choirokitian Reich".
I am sure the 'motherland' you refer to is Anatolia; being much closer to its offspring. Its the father who is often more distant.
The motherland I refer to is Mycenaean Greece.

But yes, you are right. Greeks also colonised and ruled Anatolia, before the arrival of the nomads.
