Now how did the Eteocypriots go extinct? Was Cyprus hit by a massive meteor or something?

Pull the other one Sotos!

Eteocypriots have nothing to do with Choirokitians, who were probably a hundred people, and they perished many thousand years before them.

They didn't go extinct. They were assimilated to the more developed Greek culture.

Bullshit they perished! Since when did an entire oeople just vanish into thin air for no reason unless they were exterminated?

Skata! The Greeks are neither smarter nor more developed. If anything, they need to get their act together because their culture lacks sophistication. They are way behind the level headed and balanced development of others, so much so, it's getting embarrassing.

Permanent human occupation began in the Aceramic (pre-pottery) Proto-Neolithic period, starting around 7000 BC, when the Choirokhoitia site was founded, probably by people from Anatolia or the Levant - sedentary farmers, cultivating cereals and herding sheep, goats and pigs, all introduced from Asia Minor. For some reason Choirokhoitia and other sites were abandoned abruptly in the mid-6th millennium BC and were not reoccupied until 1,000 years later, in the Ceramic Neolithic period. There is less monumental evidence of occupation in the form of the remains of buildings from this period at Choirokhoitia, but new forms of plant and animal life, as well as the characteristic pottery, have been identified, suggesting that the new inhabitants were members of a fresh immigrant group, whose way of life was again based on agriculture and the raising of domestic animals. The site was finally abandoned in the early 4th millennium BC.

The site was abandoned, but the people did not vanush completely.

They don't just vanish and appear again after 1000 years. That is the biggest load of crap I have ever heard.

They didn't "appear again". They were different people who came from elsewhere later.... those were not midgets This is what " new inhabitants were members of a fresh immigrant group" means! So all these other people were not "Cypriots". They were immigrants from someplace else. They became Cypriots only after they lived in Cyprus for a long time... just like the Greeks. Actually the Greeks must be the most Cypriot of anybody since I doubt any other group lived in Cyprus for as long as the Greeks 3500 years!

Anybody can write an article or a book these days. This one seems far more interesting to me. you should read it because it seems the way you see yourself is totally wrong. And I can give you more books and articles that will teach you who you are and what your identity should be if you want. No need to thank me.

National identity essentially resides in the mind: evolving over time it is inevitably selective in how it epitomizes the ideals and aspirations of a people. In this searching and deeply passionate book, Roy Strong reveals an iconography of England rooted in the cultural imagination. Rather than simply depicting reality, art and literature have often ennobled - and immortalised - reality in a way that has directly affected how we see ourselves.

When it's time to give the animals (GR, Dog, Paphitis etc.) their education I have the books for them to read.

What midgets and horseshit are you talking about?

So, on Cyprus the people were midgets for some reason but everywhere else they were 6 foot tall!

Tell me something… what is your height Sotos?

[Get Real!]

Let’s recap the history of Cyprus according to the three stooges Kurupet, Sotos and Yialoser:

A long time ago Cyprus was inhabited by midgets who later became extinct because they were too short to reach the fruit on the trees which had by now grown too tall for them.

Once they all died of hunger and inbreeding and all of a sudden 200 cruise ships arrived from the port of Piraeus to drop off Spartan families who thought…

“What a lovely place and all the weird midgets have died out so let us make this our country… a Hellenic country… come on Aphrodite hurry hurry!”

So there you go kids… the history of Cyprus in just 2 minutes according to Greek secondary state schools.

[Oceanside50]

Why couldn't the Cypriot midgets jump on each other's shoulders and cut the fruit and not starve?...there's a missing link in your hypothesis..

[GreekIslandGirl]

Sounds like a Christmas Story. Once upon a time, there were some midget Chorokitians, who ate up all the Dwarf hippos. They were not Happy. In fact they were Grumpy. But mostly Dopey because they were so short on brainpower that they didn't figure to stand on each other's shoulders to put sticky stuff on tree branches and catch some ambelopoulia. Luckily, some clever Greeks came along and introduced them to computers. Unfortunately, their tiny fingers kept short circuiting the antikytheron. They got so mad they threw it in the sea ...
