    Information

    ▪️ We’ll discover that the island was well-known to the world’s earliest civilizations, even though humans arrived on Cyprus relatively late.

    ▪️ We'll discuss how ancient people created the first global market and why this market could not function properly without Cyprus.

    ▪️ We’ll learn when Greek Cypriots first settled on the island and why they were likely refugees. We’ll also delve into the mysterious Bronze Age collapse that devastated nearly all Mediterranean civilizations.

    ▪️ We’ll identify the gods worshipped in ancient Cyprus and explore the most famous preserved temples on the island.

    ▪️ And, of course, we’ll talk about the ancient languages of Cyprus, their connection to the island's modern languages, and dive into the basics of archaeology, geography, and linguistics.
