Well of course, it makes perfect sense...

Greeks <-- Slavs --> Turks


Chiorikittians r included among my Hellenic Cypriot cousins.

Problem is Choirokitians existed about 5,000 years before anything hellenic appeared...


And did those Choirokitians appear from thin air .... or are they from the same branch that flitted back and forth across the Mediterranean at that time of sparse population?

:roll: Forget about sailing up and down the Mediterranean in 7 or 8,000BC!!! The first Choirokitians most likely landed on Cyprus on a raft from present day Syria or Lebanon.


In my opinion they evolved from apes of Cyprus, right here in the wild jungles of Cyprus. :?

Just a correction... I should've said the first Cypriots arrived and not necessarily Choirokitians.

As for apes, that’s based on the assumption of evolution in which case the theory also suggests major geographical evolutions too.

Why forget about sailing? How did all those Polynesian Islands become inhabited, Australia, New Zealand etc ... and even earlier than 8,000BC. You under-estimate Man's capabilities at that time ... but then you are anthropologically challenged :lol:

Anyway, even if a crossing was made only once to Cyprus, and by a group of people from Syria ... did that group all go 100% en masse just to Cyprus or did some splinter raft-building pioneers also populate the rest of the Mediterranean, at about the same time?

I'm sure I read somewhere that 300 of them came over from Sparta. Or perhaps I was dreaming.

Drifting on a raft is one thing and sailing about at will in 8,000BC is quite another. I can assure you that none of the first settlers of islands worldwide SAILED to it.

People were most likely fleeing from mainlands to escape violence and/or natural disasters, and would end up populating islands by accident.


You under-estimate Man's capabilities at that time ... but then you are anthropologically challenged :lol:

:shock: Now that’s an insult to my manhood! :lol:

I don't know if it was just one raft (one family) that started it all or many of them.
