I suggest you construct your arguments on fact rather than what you dig out of the same hole that disposes of your digestive waste.

And I suggest you apologize to God for talking in this manner against the Old Testament!

I don't believe in God. I don't believe the Bible is a reliable source of information either, least of all the Old Testament, which was written in an illiterate part of the world containing many myths that are evidently made up.

Regardless, Greece did not exist, that is not to say that Greeks did not exist on what makes up modern Greece.

Your tired and well-known theories, are those written by Greek nationalists in the early 1800s as part of the “Megali Idea” campaign and the invention of “hellenism”, so your sources are anything BUT historic or credible!

But the Old Testament has been proven LEGIT as far as when it was written is concerned. Here’s one of its books…

You can't claim that something written in an illiterate part of the world, that claims an old man got the hundreds of millions of different types of animals on a boat, then sailed them around the world surviving a global flood...a book that claims snakes can talk...is a reliable source of information.

Cyrene was a Greek City sate you dip shit!

That's in Libya you twit!

But it was a Greek city state, with Greek remnants there to prove it. You can't get anymore factual than than that.

Then a Turk.

Not even Turks would spew this anti-Greek rubbish.

Cyrene was a Greek City sate you dip shit!

That's in Libya you twit!

Cyrene, ancient Greek colony in Libya, founded c. 631 bc by a group of emigrants from the island of Thera in the Aegean. Their leader, Battus, became the first king, founding the dynasty of the Battiads, whose members, named alternately Battus and Arcesilaus, ruled Cyrene for eight generations (until c. 440 bc). Under their rule, the city prospered economically and expanded, establishing its port of Apollonia (Marsa Sūsah) and the towns of Barce (al-Marj) and Euhesperides, or Berenice (Banghāzī).

After a further influx of Greek colonists c. 570 bc, Greek–Libyan relations broke down; the new constitution granted under Battus III failed to allay dissension among the rival domestic factions, and c. 525 Cyrene was subjected to a short-lived Persian invasion.

The republic that followed was politically undistinguished. Then, under the aegis of Ptolemaic Egypt (from 323 bc), Cyrene became one of the great intellectual centres of the classical world, boasting a medical school and such scholars as the geographer Eratosthenes and the philosopher Aristippus, founder of the Cyrenaics. In 96 bc Cyrenaica came under Roman rule and in 67 bc was united with Crete to form a senatorial province, with Cyrene as local capital. The two centuries of relative prosperity under the Romans—broken by a revolt of the Cyrenian Jews (ad 115)—were followed by steady decline. With the Arab conquest (ad 642), the city ceased to exist.

The site of ancient Cyrene is partly occupied by the modern village of Shaḥḥāt in al-Jabal al-Akhḍar, eight miles southwest of Marsa Sūsah. Three main areas of the city have been excavated: the fountain and sanctuary of Apollo, where the Venus of Cyrene and a colossal statue of Apollo were found; the upper city, site of a forum and basilica modelled on the Kaisareion of Alexandria, and a large 2nd-century house with fine mosaics; and the centre of the Roman town, in which stands a huge Doric column marking the site of the temple of Zeus, a gigantic Doric building of the late 6th century bc.

Let GR talk to himself he's an idiot!

Re vlakes...

"Cyrene was founded in c.630 BCE as a colony of the Greek island
town Thera"

By then the Old Testament had ALREADY been written and the Greeks received their education from Cypriots!

4th own goal?

The ancient Greeks founded several colonies on its coast and developed several major cities. The most important foundation was that of Cyrene in 631 BCE by colonists from the island Thera, who had left the island because of a famine.[1] Their commander Aristoteles took the Libyan name Battos.[2] His dynasty, the Battaid, maintained itself in spite of heavy resistance by the Greeks in neighbouring cities.


You know why Libya is called Libya? You know mythology?

Yes, Libya is a Greek name. So is Egypt(land under the Aegean)

Are you gonna tell us now that Libya was always an Arab country? And always a Muslim country?

Do you know what your problem is? You’re not putting things in chronological perspective, so you’re just skipping the Old Testament and saying…

“Oh look there are Greeks in Libya!”

…without worrying about WHEN that happened and what preceded it!

The Chinese were literate long before the bible was written, and had formed several religions of their own already. Had your texts come from China, they MIGHT have some credibility...but they don't.
