#2. Question: Is the Island of Cyprus Part of the Promised Land of Israel?
http://www.britam.org/Questions/QuesLand.html#Cyprus
Dear Yair,
I was interested to read that Cyprus was possibly/probably part of ancient
Israel. In 1878 the British and the Ottoman Sultan agreed that the
possession and administration of Cyprus was vested in Great Britain (in
return for British military help against Russia). Although Cyprus was
granted independence in 1960, Great Britain retained two Sovereign Base
Areas (SBA) on the island for both Royal Air Force and Army bases. An SBA is
counted as still part of Great Britain. If the end time role of Britain is
to support Israel militarily, then it is already within permanent fighter
base range and it is already in position within the ancient boundaries of
the Holy Land. It is interesting to note that Cyprus was a jumping off
point for the Crusades. Also, many English people have moved to Cyprus
permanently. I can't find statistics for this but to anyone visiting Cyprus
the level of British influence is universal.
Regards
Bob Davis
3. Brian Patmore: Khazar Capital Being Excavated

Hi Yair,
I just came across this interesting article regarding the Kazars.
Archeologists have just discovered what appears to be their long lost capital.

Russian archaeologists find long-lost Jewish capital

Russian archaeologists say they have found the long-lost capital of the Khazar kingdom in southern Russia, a breakthrough for research on the ancient Jewish state.
"This is a hugely important discovery," expedition organiser Dmitry Vasilyev said from Astrakhan State University after returning from excavations near the village of Samosdelka, just north of the Caspian Sea.
"We can now shed light on one of the most intriguing mysteries of that period - how the Khazars actually lived. We know very little about the Khazars - about their traditions, their funerary rites, their culture," he said.
The city was the capital of the Khazars, a semi-nomadic Turkic peoples who adopted Judaism as a state religion, from between the 8th and the 10th centuries, when it was captured and sacked by the rulers of ancient Russia.
At its height, the Khazar state and its tributaries controlled much of what is now southern Russia, western Kazakhstan, eastern Ukraine, Azerbaijan and large parts of Russia's North Caucasus region.
The capital is referred to as Itil in Arab chronicles but Mr Vasilyev said the word may actually have been used to refer to the Volga River on which the city was founded or to the surrounding river delta region.
Itil was said to be a multi-ethnic place with houses of worship and judges for Christians, Jews, Muslims and pagans. Its remains have until now never been identified and were said to have been washed away by the Caspian Sea.
Archaeologists have been excavating in the area if Samosdelka for the past nine years but have only now collected enough material evidence to back their thesis, including the remains of an ancient brick fortress, he added.
"Within the fortress, we have found huts similar to yurts, which are characteristics of Khazar cities.... The fortress had a triangular shape and was made with bricks. It's another argument that this was no ordinary city."
Around 10 university archaeologists and some 50 students took part in excavations in the region this summer, which are partly financed by the Jewish University in Moscow and the Russian Jewish Congress.
