So yes, there were very early people on Cyprus; but where are they now? Well, they are part of the, ongoing, perpetually Greek-speaking natives which have been mixing back and forth around the Mediterranean and predominately with mainland Greeks as we know from the more recent influxes of ~3,500 years ago. That makes Cyprus pretty Greek by any accounts.
You talk so much shit it's not funny!
First you admit that Cyprus is more ancient than Greece and then you offer ancestry title to Greece! In other words the ancient grandparents came from the much later children!
I never said any such thing. There are remnants of earlier civilizations in Greece. The tribes which sailed to Cyprus were the same as those which continued further north and founded dwellings in northern Greece (~15,000 years) - There were not enough people around for it to be otherwise and have many different groups. The evidence would suggest that they reached northern Greece before any successful disembarkation/colonisation was made on Cyprus (~10,000 years). Unlike you, I know the reality is not static or linear but a continual mixing as they became better and better seamen and continued their ties and trades.
