Copper and Cyprus

My first post on the μblog. For now the μblog is just a separate "kind" of entry (kind :: note, in the header) but still under /blog. Going to add filtering logic on the index page sometime.
Anyways, I realised whilst reading 1177B.C. by E. Cline that Cyprus / Cypriot share an etymological root with the word copper - based on the fact that large amounts of copper were extracted in Cyprus.
