The Kingdom of Cyprus - the Rise and Fall of Most Serene Republic of Venice

Historia est magistrum vitae.

And throughout that history you continuously encounter the same contagion,

ever and forever all known world was ruled by an inborn search for possession and wealth

Nor you, neither Holy Church are free and clean of Greed. So what a big deal to find out

how cruel and even more self-interested and

egoistic was the rule of Venetians in Cyprus (1489 - 1571).

Crushing the Dalmatian Pirates and becoming super power in Adriatic Sea,

Venetian Republic became ever more important and

now could command the sea route to Holy Land, to supply the transport required

by the crusaders. Reaping substantial profits and further trading rights.

After Third Crusade, Venice had trading settlements in Tyre, Sidon and

other cities of the Levant.

But the city of Acre will fall to Mamlucs in 1291; agony and continues change of power

in the Kingdom of Cyprus, sitting young boys in power,

with even less powerful Supreme Court than in the holy city of Jerusalem,

made third biggest Mediterranean island an attractive mid-point of trade.

Interest shown by the Milanese was than materialised by the Venetians,

whose desire for Cyprus was inspired purely by profit.
The Venetians saw Cyprus primarily as a military base. Anticipating conflict,

they undertook an ambitious plan of fortification.
Famagusta and Nicosia were ringed with massive earthworks, cased with stone.

An outer wall was erected around Kyrenia castle, the gap being filled with earth
to form an artillery rampart. The best military architects in Europe were

brought in to design and execute these projects.
Ambitious plans concerned the construction of economically

important knots, such as bridges.
Prominent examples is so called camel route up in the Troodos Mountains

and construction of Bridges to enable transfer of copper ore from Para Pedi to

Paphos sea-ports.

My first ever car-roof puttying and painting!

8.10.2009

Last week I had got at last some spare time to dedicate to my car.

So, let me introduce to you my sacred passion and true love - Mitsubishi Lancer GLX

Like that I found her in the morning, no,no...one lovely, warm and sunny morning at Ayios Tychonos, Limassol I took a cold shower and came out on a parking lot down Anemus Apt. and saw

nothing new, I had to do smth with that common for 91-92 Lancer models problem, besides the car is 18 years old!

Slight sea wind took out some of few sweat drops down from my nose as I carried to torture my car or my hands with fingers

Here comes anto-corrosion pain..how long will it last? The answer is year and a half in Mediterranian high-humidity climate.

Time: 15:38 p.m. at 18:00 a lecture at University, that lies 87 km away from Limassol, was about to start, it's time to put down all the newspapers and to get my shit together!
