Oldest Known Pet Cat? 9,500-Year-Old Burial Found on Cyprus

Since at least the time of the ancient Egyptians, cats have been cherished as companions, worshipped as idols, and kept as agents of pest control and good luck. But now French archaeologists have found evidence that our close relationship with cats may have begun much earlier.

The carefully interred remains of a human and a cat were found buried with seashells, polished stones, and other decorative artifacts in a 9,500-year-old grave site on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus. This new find, from the Neolithic village of Shillourokambos, predates early Egyptian art depicting cats by 4,000 years or more.

Arent the Cypriote felines early settlers from Mikro Asiatiki. We heard that thet swam from Anamur to Cyprus. Turkey must want its settlers back.

Anamur has mutated from the Greek Anemourion (Ανεμούριον) meaning windy point.

Thanks for that. As in Anemometer. It makes good sense.

In that case, it also makes good sense to give us Asia Minor back

Agreed. Once you get Cyprus back you can try....but wait a minute, The Seljuks took most of Asia minor from the Byzantines and Armenians and NOT from Cyprus.

That's OK, the Armenians can have all they want ... we can co-exist with them, happily But Cyprus was all part of the same Hellenic world from which the Byzantines sprung forth. So, give it all back, please

Sorry, no can do. Not mine to give. You could go the the ECHR/ECJ and state your case. I pray that justice will prevail. I cant be fairer than that.

Can't take this case to the ECHR/ECJ because Asia Minor is part of our Overseas Territories and it's not in Europe!

We'll wait for Turkey's 9 lives to come to an end .... they must have used 7 or 8 by now fighting, all these neighbours ....

Lets say that Trkey has used up all its lives. Wh will get eastern Turkey? Armenians or Kurds?

I wonder if there are any Hittites left?

Take the Turks out of the picture and everyone is happy to return to their ancestral homes. There are a lot of temples needing repair, minarets to remove ... etc

And, if there are any Hittites out there, please make yourselves known ...

Sweet dreams ... I need my cat-nap
