Why GR is proud to be Cypriot...

(Extracted from a joke of a thread created by a nincompoop)

I’m proud to be a Cypriot for many reasons, but the most ancient are the most important…


1. Cyprus is the birth place of European civilization, with ancient Choirokoitia dating back to 7000 BC:

2. Cyprus is the birth place of what is today called the “Greek” alphabet:

…that evolved from one of the most ancient scripts in the world…

3. Cypriot merchants from the land of “Alasya” mastered the Mediterranean waves to trade with the great pharaohs of Egypt and the entire Eastern Mediterranean shores at a time when the rest of the world didn’t even know what a boat looked like!


4. Cypriots, were the first foreign messengers of Christianity to Europe and other areas:

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),”
