It’s further evidence that the notion of a Mycenaean colonization of Cyprus was physically impossible.


What is physically impossible is for your IQ to rise above 80.

I guess you won the argument... you may go now and please don't come back! :lol:

Who cares, these arguments are getting old. Nationhood is a manmade construct, it is in your head. Even if Mycenaeans did colonise the island, your genetic pool would have been mixed beyond recognition by now.

Let us know once you figure it out. :lol:


The "genetic pool" is constantly mixing because we multiply with sex, not mitoses, and incest is generally avoided. Nationhood is of course an idea... not something that can be detected in the DNA. But it is an idea based on commonalities among people... such as same language, religion, culture, interests etc. It is not something random.

I never said that it was random, commonalities make it easier to form a group identity. What I find weird is the unwavering allegiance many GC's have to Greece, despite being short changed by them a number of times.

Sotos wrote:The only reason that those boats with the refugees sink is because they are overloaded, not because of the great distance. Why do you think nearly none of the other 1000s of boats that sail in the same sea never sink? You are again trying to argue against well known facts. Sea travel and trade in the Mediterranean during that period is an undeniable historical fact and only an idiot like yourself would question it using such simplistic and ignorant arguments. How old are you? 6?

P.S. the boats then, just like now, don't necessarily reach their destination in one go. They can make stops in other locations if necessary.

So the “Greek“ boats from 3,000 years ago were less overloaded and more seaworthy eh?

Btw, what was it the alleged "Mycenaeans" were running away from? :lol:

I find you both weird... in your case it's a unwavering allegiance with a terrorism-sponsoring dictator with the IQ of ant.

Atta boy! :wink:


Why don't you go tell him yourself, he is quite the social type. Akinci would sell out the TRNC any day of week, but you lot seem to be too stupid to see it.

Question for you, can you name a country that has a foreign officer in charge of their armed forces and has the national anthem of another?

How did you feel singing the "Hymn to Liberty" whilst in the national guard?

You would be hard pressed to find a TC that supports Erdogan. I do not by the way.
