Can't you see that's exactly what the Turk settlers will say one day about the northern part of Cyprus? "It was relatively uninhabited at the time - just a few Greek peasants, now we have a +million+ Turks." It was ethnically cleansed, for goodness sake!

Isn't that how your imaginary Mycenaean colonization theory goes when trying to explain that they did not invade and occupy Cyprus?

You guys shoot your selves in the foot at every other post it seems!

At some point (a few thousand years ago) human civilisations founded territories; settlements which they organised and developed into the sovereign structures of recent times, with laws and assigned cultures. Up till then, there were so few human tribes that they were highly related. Changing together. There's no incongruity with that theory of human expansion. It is the disruptions from the unsettled latecomers, the nomads, which parasitise these established settlements which now cause chaos.

Just as I thought... my invasion and occupation is better than your invasion and occupation!
