He has thought of everything. But aren't Germans the same as the English - like, Germans are ultra-pure English, the original stock so to speak.
we have been down this road before - the alleged Saxon influence was probably a later historically expedient invention as is the myth of most Cypriots being principally descended from so-called Mycenaeans (and in particular heroes from the Trojan war ...)
Don't want to disagree with you and prolong this unnecessarily, but you do have a pattern of denying history which you do not personally approve of or agree with (like ignoring the similarities between us and dinosaurs). Not only the Mycenaeans (a small wave) but many, many sea-crossings by Greeks over thousands of years led to the colourful culture of this island - just as the major crossings by the Germanic Tribes more
recently led to the populating of the British Isles (recorded very
recently whether you like it not). It's very sad when one silly person objects to history ...
Farage would put you in your place.
Aaaah...but this is exactly how they have demonstrated their 'superiority' over Greeks and Cypriots my dear.
You see, you say the Brits have Saxon or Germanic influence, yet they are NOT German.
The Australians have Anglo Saxon influence, yet they are not English or German.
The Kiwis have Anglo Saxon/British influence, yet they are not English, German or British.
The Canadians have Anglo Saxon and French influence, yet they are not English, German or French.
Americans have the same influences as above, yet they are nothing but Americans.
All above mentioned countries are superior, despite your alleged "Spartan" influence, and this is proven. Compare anyone with Greece and see what a bunch of f@#ked up idiots Greeks are, and you try to follow their lead.
The best thing is this my dear. If you really love Greece and Cyprus, then both need to learn from countries like Germany, UK, US, Canada, Australia etc etc....otherwise just forget it!
We lag so far behind....
We have destroyed our country, not once but on many occasions. We lack unity, are not as innovative or progressive. We are too political. There are many things we need to do better for our sake....otherwise, just forget it.
