We literally were told this in school. Sheep even descend from the Cypriot mouflon so we were the first to tame them and breed them.
Also first to use copper
First to have cats
First to have built wells
Yep, but we prefer to focus on later history – why be proud when you can focus on negative shit!
Cauliflower comes from Cyprus as well apperently
For more context, I recommend “The Dawn of Everything” by David Graeber and David Wengrow.
Everything started in Cyprus, Cyprus is the centre of the universe 😅
Cyprus numba 1
And until this day our population is 90% χτηνά
Cyprus has as massive history and we often become distracted by conversations about who owned the island. We’ve been here for a long time, longer than any ruler or colonial power. We should be proud of it. Other countries will rant about some shack that’s been around for 200 years, whilst we have 11,000 years+ of settlement. We should also be pretentious and proud 🙂
Minoans were master farmers back in the day, then we Greeks came and stole their idea.
