yes mate today you can say this...but here comes the but...what will history say in 3000 years?...
I like how you say mostly...whaty makes you say mostly...any figures perhaps, or you going by what someone says in the 19th century?
assimilation is assimilation either way you see it...mostly means there were others...perhaps the true cypriots...
In 3,000 years, Cyprus will be mostly Sri Lankan and Indian for all we know.
well atleast we will know what history has installed for us...
Are you denying the fact that Australia is now mostly European and Cyprus is mostly Hellenic?
no i do not deny it that both were through assimilation...do accept it...NO...
So are you an assimilated Aboriginal?
Only 0.54% of Australia's population claims Aboriginal Ancestry and the remaining are predominately European.
So most Australians are not Aboriginal but are from many nations and predominantly from Europe. The same thing applies to Cyprus because 80% of the population is Hellenic.
you are comparing chalk and cheese...I am talking about aboriginals being assimilated same as what the Cypriots, 3500 years ago...you are talking today with a 200 year history...you need to get into perspective...
by your thinking, in 3500 years from today some smart ass will deny the existence of the aboriginals by looking into his crystal ball...

No not at all because no one has ever denied the existence of native persons in Cyprus, Greece, France or England for that matter.
No one is going to deny the existence of Aboriginals in 3500 years but no one could possibly claim Aboriginal Inheritance when they are probably going to be a blend of European, Asian, African and Arabic influences over this time frame. This is exactly what you are doing. You are claiming a native Cypriot inheritance in the face of massive Phoenician and even more massive Hellenic migration and influence into Cyprus which has withstood the test of time.
....again you have proven my point we got assimilated big time...

The subject of this thread is accurate and should not be renamed.
From the Embassy of the Republic of Cyprus:
http://www.cyprusembassy.net/home/index ... page&pid=8
However the most important event in the history of Cyprus is the arrival of the Achaean settlers at the end of the 12th and during the 11th century B.C.
The new Greek settlers brought a new vigour to the already flourishing culture of the island by establishing new towns and by introducing the Greek language, new techniques in metallurgy, new artistic styles and even religious elements from the Greek world.
In the subsequent Geometric period the hellenization of Cyprus was completed and this is, most probably, the period of the establishment city kingdoms, which are well attested in written sources in the following Archaic and Classical periods.
Cyprus was well-known to the ancients for its copper mines and forests. No wonder its wealth made it the object of contest among the great powers of the Eastern Mediterranean in antiquity: the Assyrians, the Egyptians and the Persians, who in turn became its masters.
During the 5th century B.C. Athens played an important role in Cyprus, cooperating with the main cities of the island against the Persians. It was during this time that Evagoras of Salamis rose to power, a figure of worldwide radiance at the time. On the partition of the empire of Alexander the Great, who finally liberated the island from the Persians, Cyprus became one of the most significant parts of the empire of the Ptolemies of Egypt; later it came under the dominion of the Romans in 58 B.C. Both during the Ptolemies and later under the Romans, the Sanctuary of Aphrodite at Paphos was the centre of the national, religious and cultural life of the island. In 330 A.D. it became a province of the Byzantine Empire.
so nobody was here before the greeks came out here?
it somehow reminds me of when the brits came to australia...
according to you there was no assimilation...is this right?
Ethnic cleansing perhaps?
They will say they simply died out, which amounts to the same thing.
The Turks were not around at the time.
The few hundred native Cypriots just blended in and adopted Hellenic Culture and maintained it for 3500 years.
Well, that is what Boomers said. I agree with him-------for a change.
ouch...

I rest my case. Irrefutable evidence of the connection between Cypriots and extra-terrestrials.
Alien?
Original Cypriot?
