Getreal! - if we are not supposedly related by blood to the Greeks (I dont know of any peoples who can relate a pure bloodline that far) - Then are you saying that no Mycaenean or Ionian Greeks settled in Cyprus??

There was a mass settlement of Mycaenean and Ionian Greeks between 2000-1600BC. Some of the reasons for such a migration include the Dorian Greek tribe invading southern Greece from the north, causing the Mycaenean and Ionian tribes to flee overseas, as well as Greeks en-route to the Trojan war (a peoples who many historians also attach to the many Greek tribes of that era).

How do you know they werent Greek? What proof do you have that tells me differently?

Oh please child, dont resort to stupid questions. I know because there were people on the island BEFORE the Mycenaean Greeks! How could they of been Greek when Greek people werent there at 10000 BC???

Furthermore did the Mycenean civilisation even exist 10000 BC?

Most Greek people will tell you they've been in Cyprus for 5000 years. They were not the indigenous people of Cyprus, when TCs get to 5000 will that make us indigenous people of Cyprus too?

Pig ignorant?

You can talk!

I dont understand how Hellenism is a Mycenaean import imported BY the indigenous people of the island. That makes NO sense what so ever. Do you know what indigenous means?

indigenous definition
adj.
1. Originating and living or occurring naturally in an area or environment. See Synonyms at native.
2. Intrinsic; innate.

In other words a naturally occurring species!!!!

I said "the Hellenism of Cyprus" is a Mycean import, or if you like our "Greek ways" are an import. We are not related through blood to Greeks.

The fact that you have started to misquote me is perhaps a sign that these are issues you should leave for others to deal with as your brain seemingly gets taxed too easily.

Sorry but you are lame!

Adopting "Greek ways" does not make the indigenous people of the Island Greek!

I still have not heard what the problem with that time line is?

[the_snake_and_the_crane]

The remains of the people from 10,000BC have only been found at Kitium and not the whole of the island.

Like i said before, there has been an early settlement found near Larnaca but the majority of the island was unsettled at that time.

I would like to know of which civilization you would attach Cyprus in 10,000 BC too? Because they must have come from somewhere.

when TCs get to 5000 will that make us indigenous people of Cyprus too?

At the going rate - there will be no such things as TC in 50 years time. Only Turks.

The problem is its not what these two want to hear....

It doesnt make them non-Greek either. There has been no proof found that says that the people of Cyprus from 10,000BC were not Greek.

They also seemed to have embraced and adopted the 'Greek Ways'. Who are you to say they are not Greek if they themselves adopted Greek culture?

I tell you who you are - another Turk who wants to remove Hellenism from Cyprus.

Exactly the point. Your argument and that of GR is absolutely pointless. We all came FROM somewhere. 100 years is enough for me to call my self a Cypriot and a Turkish one at that.
