Exploring Cyprus and making connections to Avaris

 I spent few days in Cyprus, great opportunity to visit some amazing archaeological sites, among them all I loved Χοιροκοιτία (Choirokoitia). A must see for those who love Mediterranean prehistory.

 


Visiting various Museums I could see a great deal of White Painted pottery like the beautiful jug below  dated Late Cypriotic Bronze Age I 1650-1550 and synchronized with the Second Intermediate Period in Avaris, a subject discussed in Chapter 6 of my book The Atletenu of Avaris in case the links between Bronze Age Cyprus and Avaris are of your interest.
