Hi B,

Yeah I did think twice when I read that , 8th century B.C. is not very old,

I'm sure there are many towns on the Mediterranean that go back as far, even Monte Carlo is supposed to be 3000 years  ,how about Valetta on Malta ? it is a part of Europe.

Not to mention Athens !! Athens dates back to the Mycenaean period !! It was not destroyed during the Greek Dark Age.

And what about Istanbul? ,that was old Byzantium.

Oh well.
