Busy in Paphos ... The Throne of Civilisation!







.. A researcher descends into a prehistoric well in Kirsonerga village in the Paphos district of Cyprus. Archaeologists have discovered a water well in Cyprus that was built as long as 10,500 years ago, and the skeleton of a young woman at the bottom of it, an official said Wednesday.

Radiocarbon dating found the well is between 9,000 to 10,500 years old, he said.

That was around the time migrating humans started to build permanent settlements on the island. Before then, temporary settlements were inhabited by sea-borne migrants using Cyprus as a way station to other destinations.

Thomas Davis, director of the Nicosia-based Cyprus American Archaeological Research Institute, said the well - which he called "among the earliest in the world" - offers proof of the "high level of sophistication" of the island's early Neolithic farmers.

"The fact that they were using wells and that they tapped into the island's water table shows heightened appreciation for the environment here," said Davis, who was not involved in the discovery. "This was a major investment."

Maybe she was getting some water.

maybe she fell in as the water table had lowered due to overuse/building golf courses or being unable to import it from tribe at he end of the Balkans? there is a lesson here perhaps

What went wrong is that we influenced neanderthals like you, who later used your brawny Might, to come and enslave us ....
