Like I’ve stressed many times… just because archeologists haven’t yet found a clear cut continuation from one civilization to another doesn’t necessarily mean that it doesn’t exist! They simply haven’t found it yet! The same goes for the ancient history of every other country where there are gaps between major events that have yet to be filled and perhaps some may never be filled.


Therefore we should all take your word for it no questions asked. Right? (Pisteve kai mi erevna or believe and do not question).
Well, I don't blame you. It's only natural to be dogmatic since you didn't have a Hellenic education. I wonder, though. If you were a professor or teacher of history, for instance, would you be teaching these unsubstantiated theories of yours to your students? Telling them that you can not produce evidence but they would have to take your word for it and reproduce it later?

My claims are VERY NATURAL AND LOGICAL because all I'm saying is that most Cypriots come from ancient Cypriots!

You on the other hand have climbed on the bandwagon of someone else’s fairytale that Cypriots somehow vanished and all these ships of “Greeks” arrived on Cyprus!

So where is your evidence for all that baloney? :lol:

Especially given that no such thing as Greece or Greeks existed back when you claim all this bollocks took place! :roll:

And ancient Cypriots came from somewhere else. Or maybe you thought they grew out of the land of Cyprus? Most ancient Cypriots came from Peloponnesus, which is why their language and culture prevailed, as they were the majority. Some others came from Anatolia, the Levant, maybe Africa, before and after the Greeks, but as they were fewer they were gradually assimilated.

But hey, if you want to insist that all your own ancestors came from Anatolia, even though you can't read their scripts, can't speak their language, and have nothing in common with their culture, then go ahead. It seems that it is you who has a lot in common with Denktash since you are an Anatolian wonnabe ;)

Unlike the Greeks who descended from Mt Olympus as cupids! :lol:

Unsubstantiated bollocks! :roll: Cyprus was inhabited way before Greece...

Trying very hard to avoid getting embroiled in your chicken and egg, schoolyard games; but it's highly unlikely, GR!, that the 'landmass' of Cyprus was inhabited before any of the landmasses of the other Greek regions, in particular the mainland.

- There are much older examples, but fossils from 500,000+ years have been found in the Petralona Caves (Halkidiki) relating to proto-artisans.

I've asked you before to stop diminishing Cyprus' role with these constant comparisons of yours to the other, many, regions of the Greek nation. The whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

You are wrong, yet again. Cyprus was one of the last parts in Europe to be inhabited by early humans. Greece was inhabited by modern humans by 30.000BCE and probably earlier.

Greece, like many other places (but not Cyprus) was inhabited even before that by Neanderthals:

Piratis, you better read your links more carefully!

Homo Sapiens, evolved out of Africa 200,000 years ago, and 40,000 years ago they managed to migrate to Australia as your link correctly stated, and yet you stupidly claim that they were unable to migrate to Cyprus.

Like I said, you should ask for a refund for that education of yours! :wink:
