You haven't managed to reconstruct the ship of Kyrenia yet. You haven't found out where it set out from
Or what it was carrying...
The waters vanish or there are pieces missing
Or there is no time
Scientific expertise or a specialist from Europe.
You haven't been able to reassemble the Kyrenia boat yet. You still don't know if it was built by Phrygians
Or Phoenicians
Or "why not?" (you never know) Greeks.
It's a good thing that we are all absolutely
Certain about this.
It's a good thing that the "reconstruction" was achieved Years ago when the ship
Was still resting
Mute in the serene depths of the sea of Kyrenia.
It's a good thing we got answers to all our questions
Then, in our first steps.
It put to sea from Samos two thousand three hundred
Years ago
Loaded with Athenian amphorae
Filled with Ioanian almonds
And sweet Rhodian wine,
Opening its sole square sail
Bound for the Achaean Coast ...
