Η γένεση της Κύπρου πριν την εμφάνιση του ανθρώπου: Ελέφαντες και Ιπποπόταμοι στην Αγία Νάπα

Το Τρόοδος

Η Κύπρος είναι αποτέλεσµα µιας σειράς γεωλογικών διεργασιών που διάρκεσαν δεκάδες εκατοµµύρια χρόνια. Η οροσειρά του Τροόδους σχηµατίστηκε από ηφαιστειακή δράση στον βυθό ενός µεγάλου, αρχαίου ωκεανού, γνωστού ως «Τηθύς Θάλασσα» πριν από 90 εκατοµµύρια χρόνια. Στη συνέχεια ανυψώθηκε περιπού 2000 µέτρα πάνω από την επιφάνεια της θάλασσας ως στερεοποιημένη λάβα.

Το νησί που σχηματίστηκε καλύφθηκε επανειλημμένα με θαλάσσιο νερό πραγμα που τεκμηριωνουν οι αποθέσεις ιζηματογενών πετρωμάτων πάνω από τρα ηφαιστειακά πετρώματα.

According to A. E. Brent Smith, “No man has such an invincible immortality as Chopin. In every concert-room, in every school-room, in every drawing-room, he is an honoured guest; he is the confidant of every lover, he is the friend of every mourner; he is the companion of old age, he is likewise the companion of youth. This unique position he won for himself, not by power, but by charm.” (A. E. Brent Smith, A Note of Frederic Chopin, Music & Letters, Vol.5, No. 2, Apr., 1924).
