Since there has been people settling in Cyprus since the Neanderthals time, can anyone seriously claim to be a true Cypriot?

Is that not rather hypocritical?

If the GC's are the settlers that settled in Cyprus after the Neanderthals, then what did they do with them. Are there signs of Genocide committed by the GCs here?

Could the GC's be direct decedents of the Neanderthals?

Any Takers?

The same is true for most other countries so you haven't got anything of value there...

First of all you are wrong. No Neanderthals settled in Cyprus. Cyprus is an island and it was not easy for people to access it at those times.

Secondly, the first humans were created (evolved) in a very specific part of Africa. If we go with your theory, even if the Neanderthals existed in Cyprus they would still be foreign because they didn't grow out of the land of Cyprus but came to Cyprus from somewhere else.

Prehistoric people came out of Africa and spread everywhere. These people were not Greek, or French, or German or English. These ethnicities were only created in the last few 1000s of years, while the human kind existed for about 200.000 years.

Ethnicities were created when people started to come together forming large communities and civilizations. The people that shared a common language, religion, culture etc, where the people that belonged in the same ethnicity.

When the first Greeks came to Cyprus 3500 years ago, our island was mostly uninhabited. The Greeks were the very first to inhabit most parts of Cyprus, and created their own cities on uninhabited land. They didn't invade the villages of anybody else. They were traders, not soldiers. In fact the Greeks didn't come to Cyprus much latter than they came to the Greek mainland, and they came to Cyprus even before they inhabited many of the other Greek islands.

All this happened long before the Greek civilization was created, and long before even the Greek Alphabet was created. The Phonecians came to Cyprus about 200 years letter and created their own city (again on uninhabited land) in the east of Cyprus. But that was just one city compared to the several Greek cities that already existed on the island.

The Greeks of Cyprus were an integral part in the creation of the Greek civilization. It is the Greeks of Cyprus who most probably invented the Greek Alphabet, at a time when mainland Greece was still in Dark Ages and its population illiterate. If Athens existed at that time, it was nothing but a small village.

The Ottomans in Cyprus came 3000 years later. The Ottomans were conquerors and empire builders, they didn't go around looking for nice uninhabited land next to a river and on a hill, to create their own cities, like the Greeks 3000 years earlier did. They were instead warriors who invaded and took by force what others before them had created.

So to answer directly to your questions, we are all direct decedents of Homo Sapience (probably not the Neanderthals), since we are all human beings, and no, the GCs didn't commit a genocide against the Neanderthals

Cyprus had many rulers, and many foreign people came at times to Cyprus. True Cypriots are those who were assimilated with the rest of the population and feel that all other Cypriots are their equal compatriots.

Those that say that they belong to a separate nation from the native Cypriots, are obviously not Cypriots.

I endorse Piratis's post since it is factual.

The first line of your post shows total ignorance of the facts.
During ice age periods, the seas froze at times all the way to North Africa.
In these periods it is accepted wisdom that the Neanderthals migrated south to the edge of the ice.
As they populated the European continent, far from being never, they almost certainly must have settled in Cyprus

So my question remains, what have you done with them?

I will apply your normal practice and look for some official document they may have left us, to explain this genocide mystery. This must have been a total wipe out, so it stands to reason that it was probably the first genocide committed and to add insult to injury it was done by the GCs.

How do you explain the 7000bc artefacts at the St Barnabas church left to us by these people who did not inhabit Cyprus?

Another worrying aspect is the small artefact, showing homosexual activity between 3 men.

What does this mean? Can this explain the reason why the population did not grow as expected, pointed out by GR in another thread?

Does it mean that GR's decedents were homosexual, and if they were, how was GR conceived? by miraculous conception?

My god, I have just realised that GR is Jesus.

I am so sorry My Lord.

YGuy, your a true Turkriot.

Explain. is that an new combination and how did you arrive at it?
Cancle than I just got it TurkCypriot.

I would have prefered Cypturk as I feel Cypriot first and Turkish last (not second).

The same is true for most other countries so you haven't got anything of value there...

Just because others do it does not make it acceptable dear boy.

Please allow me to join your elite group. Will there be a 50 50 split or are we to apply the usual 80 20 proportions?

[bill cobbett]

Is Neanderthal being confused with Neolithic ?

Why don't you go to the UN and tell them that all countries, ethnicities, etc are null & void because Neanderthals allegedly roamed around the world (not that I can see any correlation) and then come back and tell us what to do next…

I’m afraid we don't accept graduates of the university of "life" because of threads like these…
