@LorenaDoberus Hittites are genetically closest to modern Greeks....

No Hittites in Greek history. NONE. The silence isn’t accidental, it’s chronological. The Greeks emerge after the Bronze Age collapse, inheriting, rather than originating, the cultural and mythological legacy of the Pelasgians, and claiming it as their own.

@for68622 @moriopoulos @iosif_lazaridis Cypriots are literally the base Roman era profile.... Do you not understand that if you went back 2000 years sampled across the mainland. They could cluster like Dodecanese and cypriots. Multiple studies now back this up.

@moriopoulos @iosif_lazaridis The whole point is that Cypriots, Cappadocians and Pontics are not part of the main Greek genetic cluster, which is European. They are outliers that are culturally Greek but have never been part of the European race as far as I can tell. The same goes for some ancients from there

A good example of the irrationality of "genetic" Europeanness. Imagine being a Neolithic Bulgarian, a Greek of Byzantion, a Roman in Aphrodisias, or an Ottoman in Adrianople and be told to look, not across the Bosporus, but to Albion and the Baltic for your "genetic European" kin

@for68622 @moriopoulos @iosif_lazaridis You're unbelievably wrong. Mainland Greeks settled in the "European" cluster because they received massive slav admixture. Prior to this, they were similar to Dodecanese and cypriots. Does that make them mixed race?

@moriopoulos @iosif_lazaridis Once again:

@dckie_man1 @SamiFlamuri Anatolians were superior civilisation..... Trojans, phyrgians, carians, hittites

@SamiFlamuri Lmao 25% anatolian

This map says it clearly: Albanians show the strongest continuity with ancient Paleo-Balkan ancestry in the region, with minimal medieval Slavic input compared to neighbors. Not newcomers—deep roots, long before shifting empires and borders.

@ArdaDa440296 @SamiFlamuri Sperating pre Turkic anatolian and Mycenean is a cope. Anatolian includes everything Mycenean like (carian, lydian) and east anatolian, more related to Armenians.

@SamiFlamuri This is the biggest nonsense. Albanians have plenty of Slavic.

@Dfire880 Because you're using samples found in Albania and clasing them as Illyrian. Their y DNA and graves are more central Europen. They're not Illyrians.

@andy1992uk They are not Interchangeable, the Confirmed Thracian samples are distinguishable from Illyrians.

Attempting to Model Medieval Albanians with qpAdm. Alot of people tend to claim that these two Medieval Albanians are are Thracian + Slavic or Byzantine Greeks. But we can Debunk this very easily with rotating different Balkan sources. These Medieval Albanians carry no Slavic ancestry, and when a Thracian source is used, the model completely fails. #Greek #Albanian #Illyrian #Thracian #LateAntiquity

@yyasinilhann @Jdm1213Reality @YianisCY You literally killed more people in 2 weeks in 1974 than all deaths in 30 years.

@Jdm1213Reality @YianisCY Who can guarantee that you won't commit another massacre? Besides, if you wanted the Turkish army to leave, why did you reject the Annan Plan? You don't want to talk or reach an agreement; you want Greece to occupy the island.

I would like to clarify that Northern Cyprus is not recognized as an independent state. Its administration represents an illegal occupation of the territory of the Republic of Cyprus, which is the only internationally recognized government of the island. This position is supported by United Nations Security Council Resolutions 541 (1983) and 550 (1984), which declare the unilateral declaration of independence in Northern Cyprus legally invalid and call on all states not to recognize it.

@yyasinilhann @QrTHs6ugFLHPtvq @RealHellenist Greek Minoan like people 6000 BC to 1200 BC Myceneaen greek 1200 BC to 700 BC Persian / Assyrians 700 BC to 300 BC Ptolymeic greek 300 BC to 0BC Roman 0 BC to 300 AD Byzantines greek 300 AD to 1300 AD Are you slow in the head?

@QrTHs6ugFLHPtvq @RealHellenist First of all, I didn't say those people were proto-Turks, but that they were of Canaanite, Egyptian, and Syrian origin. I didn't say they were never under Greek rule; I said that non-Greeks dominated the island for longer than the Greeks. You also arrived later.

Cyprus sings the Greek national anthem because Cyprus is Greek 🇨🇾🇬🇷

@yyasinilhann @RealHellenist And greek empires had Cyprus for mellenia. Whether Mycenean, Ancients, ptolymeic, byzantine , Alexander. You've failed in your history lesson. Now cry. Arab.

@RealHellenist In the history of Cyprus, did Egyptian, Ottoman, and Venetian rule last longer than Greek rule? Do they no longer teach history in your schools?

@yyasinilhann @RealHellenist You absolute fool. The earliest people on Cyrus were found to be Minoan like people. Even since 6000 years ago, cyprus was connected to greek work. Infact, greek may have been formed in Cyprus. They spoke cyprominoan and eteo cypriot

@tapgsp @JohnHealey_MP @PalmasVasilis It effects cypriots. Because cities either side and cypriots live there.

@JohnHealey_MP @PalmasVasilis Is Iran attacking Cyprus? No, it is attacking Britain's sovereign base areas that are nothing to do with Cyprus because Britain stole that territory when granting Cyprus independence.

The longstanding friendship between the UK and the Republic of Cyprus is strong in the face of Iranian threats. This morning with Cypriot Defence Minister @PalmasVasilis I discussed how the UK is further reinforcing our air defences to support our shared security.

@banashar12 @archeohistories What are you talking about? No such evidence to your claims. The graves used were not slave grave but the middle and upper class were Aegean. There is not a single Levantine sample. Let alone any evidnece of levantine ruling class.

@archeohistories The conclusion of this study is not supported by its own data. Rather than demonstrating a lack of Semitic input, the data instead point to a Semitic elite ruling over a large population of Greek, Sardinian and Iberian slaves; which match what ancient sources tell us.

New research from Harvard University challenges long-held assumptions about the origins of the ancient Carthaginians. According to a study led by renowned geneticist David Reich, the people of Carthage—one of the most powerful cities of the ancient Mediterranean—were genetically more similar to Greeks than to Phoenicians. In a report published in Nature and highlighted by The Economist, the research team analyzed DNA from 17 skeletons unearthed in Carthage (modern-day Tunisia), along with 86 others from Carthaginian settlements across North Africa, Sicily, Sardinia, and Spain. They also included 25 individuals buried at Achziv and Beirut, major Phoenician sites near Tyre in present-day Lebanon. Although Carthage was founded in 9th Century BC as a Phoenician trading post and colony of Tyre—a major Semitic port city—the genetic data paints a more complex picture. While Carthage developed its own empire and distinct Semitic culture, the study reveals that its population did not share strong genetic ties with the Phoenicians as previously assumed. Instead, Reich and his team discovered a unique genetic profile they classified as “Carthaginian,” composed predominantly of Greek, North African, and Sicilian ancestry, with only minimal Phoenician genetic input. The presence of North African and Sicilian DNA is understandable, given Carthage's extensive colonies in those regions. However, the significant Greek genetic influence came as a surprise, particularly since Greeks and Carthaginians were often rivals, especially during their overlapping efforts to colonize Sicily. Their frequent military clashes in that region would suggest separation rather than intermingling. Even more intriguing is the relative lack of genetic material from Spain and Sardinia, despite both regions having hosted major Carthaginian colonies. This raises the question: did Carthaginian settlers intentionally avoid mixing with local populations, perhaps due to cultural or social biases? The study doesn’t offer a definitive answer, leaving this as one of the enduring mysteries. Carthage produced some of the most notable figures of the ancient world, including Hannibal, widely regarded as one of history’s greatest military commanders. In 218 BCE, during the Second Punic War, he famously led his army—including African war elephants—across the Alps to invade Roman territory. For 15 years, he ravaged Roman lands but ultimately failed to capture the city itself, retreating to North Africa. Carthage was eventually destroyed by Rome in 146 BCE at the end of the Punic Wars. However, the Romans later rebuilt the city, transforming it into a major hub of the Roman Empire. It remained a key center until its second destruction during the Muslim conquest in 698 CE. This groundbreaking genetic study not only reshapes our understanding of Carthaginian heritage but also highlights the intricate web of cultural and genetic exchange in the ancient Mediterranean—where even enemies left a lasting imprint on one another. 📷 : A paper in Nature suggests that the people of Carthage were genetically closer to Greeks than from the founding Phoenician culture. The findings shed light on the forces that shaped the origins of the Carthaginians and the acquisition of their culture. © The Archaeologist #archaeohistories

@vexxed616 @JDVance Shooting or not shooting will not change the trajectory of car.....to defence from a vehicle. That's why it's impossible to be self defence. Unless she was pointing a gun out the window!!!

The bullet hole in her windshield doesn't have a flush circle and the spall is asymmetric. The first shot clearly came from the left side near the corner of the car. The other shots came directly from the side. Even if we assumed the first shot was justified self defense, the others throw self defense claims out the window (no pun intended).

These people are incapable of not lying about this. "Side window"? You can see the photos of the car with bullet holes. The shots came from the front of the car because that's where the officer was standing when he was hit by the car. He is allowed to discharge his weapon in self defense.

@JDVance How does shooting at a driver of car = self defence? Had the officer not shot her. The outcome to him is exactly the same. Not to mention the fact the office put himself there whilst you tried to drive around him. Turning the opposite direction he was standing on!

Watch this, as hard as it is. Many of you have been told this law enforcement officer wasn't hit by a car, wasn't being harassed, and murdered an innocent woman. The reality is that his life was endangered and he fired in self defense. x.com/i/status/20096…

@Kronykal @JoshEakle @ProjectLiberal @JDVance Absolutely nonsense. You're deluded. Had the officer not shot and murdered him. His outcome to his life is the same. He put himself Infront of the car.

@JoshEakle @ProjectLiberal @JDVance She is at fault. The stuffed animals are irrelevant. You’re not writing a book here, soy boy.
