I accept historical records that indicate the arrival of the Mycenaeans at around 1200 bc , what I ponder over is who were those Cypriots that inhabited the island for some 8600 years before the Mycenaeans arrived !! Most certainly they were the true Cypriots so some of us must have evolved from those early natives.

Our Greek heritage, being more recent, is much much more certain than that.

The Shirokitians were just a small village, that probably became extinct many thousands of years before the Greeks and the Phoenicians arrived.

Small village/large village!!? They do not appear from nowhere. It takes many generations to turn from nomadics settlers to become settlers and create a 'village'. Most probaly the intermixed/intermarried with the new invaders/colonists and the new Cypriots were created. Unless the new invaders ethnically cleansed them.

You are all wrong. They settled in Lurucina.

Why would you have a settlement like Chiroikhitia within a secure compound if it was not to defend itself from the Lurucadis.

Lurucadis never attacked nobody, we moved to Lurucina because it was a natural fortress far away from Hellenes and the Arabs.

Pray tell, how you become their 'protectors' if not by being agressive. Were they afraid of your shadow?

[Get Real!]

Paphitis, once again you are posting a mere STORY with nothing to back it which is the STANDARD THESIS on the history of Cyprus! Where is the IRREFUTABLE EVIDENCE that Mycenaeans came and settled in Cyprus? I can tell you now that you simply won't find any.

The truth is that Mycenaeans are INTENTIONALLY PLACED ON CYPRUS by some historians and/or archaeologists to coincide with the period lavish buildings began to be erected on Cyprus because Greeks had already MONOPOLIZED the fine art (with their campaign that began in the 1830s) so everyone else just goes along with it and the foolish Cypriots are only too happy to assist them with their mythologies!

Let’s have a look at how history is written…

Have a look at this explanation from the RoC government website about the Kourion in Paphos …

“According to tradition Kourion was founded by Argives in the 13th century BC, during the first wave of the Mycenaean expansion and others followed the Argives in the 12th century as a result of the Dorian invasion of Greece.”

According to tradition? Is that another word for mythology? Is that what history is all about… assumptions?

Here’s another from the Ancient Scripts site…

“According to tradition, Greek settlers colonized Cyprus around the 12th century BCE, and they likely adopted the Cypro-Minoan script for their own use…”

According to tradition again? Right, so how much from what we supposedly “know” is based on these “traditions”?

…an awful lot I’m afraid! Nothing but UNSUBSTANTIATED SPECULATION!


Did you know that when EteoCypriot is found inscribed on these ancient places like Amathus, they just ignore it and move on? How do you explain that?

When you start paying attention to the WHOLE PICTURE you realize that everything is twisted and turned and/or ignored and removed to support the “Hellenic” thesis because our foolish compatriots have climbed on the “Hellenic” bandwagon of lies and propaganda, something that became standard policy due to the shared Ottoman problem of the time.
