Get Real! wrote:The Greek embezzlement of Cypriot heritage...
Civilization:
The Cypriots had started building organized settlements like the one at Choirokoitia, from way back in 7000 BC! This the oldest sign of human civilization in the entire region!
“Choirokoitia (also known as Khirokitia) is one of the most important prehistorical sites in the eastern Mediterranean area. The site is only partly recovered, and archaelogical work is still going on.”

It took another whopping 5,000 years before anything of interest appeared on modern Greece’s territory! (Minoan and Early Helladic civilizations at around 2,000 BC)
Language:
The birthplace of the Greek Alphabet has been identified as Cyprus…
“Using phonetic evidence, Woodard argues that the scribes who adapted the Greek alphabet from the Phoenician consonantal script were accustomed to writing Greek in the syllabic script of Cyprus.
"This has enormous implications for the history of the alphabet," Woodard says. "I think for the first time we can confidently pinpoint where the Greeks developed the alphabet, which has been a big unknown."

The earliest Cypriot inscriptions found that used the Cypriot script date back to around 1500BC, a time when the corresponding ancient people living on modern mainland Greece lived in the dark!
Religion:
Is the Eastern Orthodox Christian denomination Greek? I don’t think so…
“Historically, the contemporary Orthodox church stands in direct continuity with the earliest Christian communities founded in regions of the Eastern Mediterranean by the apostles of Jesus. The subsequent destinies of Christianity in those areas were shaped by the transfer of the imperial capital from Rome to Constantinople by Constantine I. As a consequence, during the first 8 centuries of Christian history most major intellectual, cultural, and social developments in the Christian church also took place in that region; for example, all ecumenical councils of that period met either in Constantinople or in its vicinity. Missionaries, coming from Constantinople, converted the Slavs and other peoples of Eastern Europe to Christianity and translated Scripture and liturgical texts into the vernacular languages used in the various regions. Thus, the liturgy, traditions, and practices of the church of Constantinople were adopted by all and still provide the basic patterns and ethos of contemporary Orthodoxy.”

So which countries lie in the Eastern Mediterranean? Cyprus and the Middle Eastern countries of course! And who was this Constantine I who took Christianity to Constantinople from its Eastern Mediterranean birthplace?
Constantine I, was a Roman emperor in the capital of the Roman Empire of the time called “Constantinople”! There was nothing Greek about him or his capital!

What does the Bible have to say about Cyprus?
The Bible makes it clear that among other things the Cypriots had spread the Gospel to Greeks…
Acts 11:20: “Some of them, however, men from Cyprus and Cyrene, went to Antioch and began to speak to Greeks also, telling them the good news about the Lord Jesus.”
Acts 21:16: “Some of the disciples from Caesarea accompanied us and brought us to the home of Mnason, where we were to stay. He was a man from Cyprus and one of the early disciples.”
Isaiah 23:1: “Wail, O ships of Tarshish! For Tyre is destroyed and left without house or harbor. From the land of Cyprus word has come to them.”
Ezekiel 27:6: “Of oaks from Bashan they made your oars; of cypress wood from the coasts of Cyprus they made your deck, inlaid with ivory.”
Acts 4:36: “Joseph, a Levite from Cyprus, whom the apostles called Barnabas (which means Son of Encouragement),”
So what is “Culture” that Cypriotism is based on?
“The totality of socially transmitted behavior patterns, arts, beliefs, institutions, and all other products of human work and thought.”

And what is “Mythology” that Greek “Hellenism” is based on?
“A body or collection of myths belonging to a people and addressing their origin, history, deities, ancestors, and heroes.”

Conclusion: The modern Greeks have pinched the rich ancient culture of Cypriots, repackaged it as their own and sold it right back to Cyprus as part of their mythological “Hellenism” campaign starting from the early 1800s, at a time when Ottoman suppression of Cyprus kept the Cypriots in the dark about their glorious heritage!
Regards, GR.
Now all is clear. By 7000bc also Turkey and Greece were of similar populations. Big conclusion of GR is that Greeks, G/cs/Turks are of same origin/brothers . CB just solved. NOBEL of peace is going to GR.
A second big problem which also solved.The theory stating that Choirokitians were boubounotziefaloi has been also proved.!!!!
