Book Description
TYRE 'metropolis of Phoenicia' in ages past, is coming to light under the archaeologist's spade. Excavations on the site have revealed successively the remains of Crusader, Arab, Byzantine and Graeco-Roman cities. Tyre was a flourishing city renowned and evied in the ancient world for magnificent temples, wealthy colonies in the Mediteranean and Atlantic and thriving purple dye industries.
Herodotus visited Tyre during the fifth century B.C. and wrote in the Histories 2.44 that the priests of the Temple of Melkart, the city's patron god, told him that Tyre was founded twenty-three hundred years previously, that is about-three hunredd years previously, that is about 2750 B.C. In 1973 archaeological evidence proved that the records of the priests of Melkart were indeed correct. There was a permanent occuation of Tyre during the Early Bronze Age (middle of the third millennium B.C.), thus corroborating Herodotus' written testimony.
Through the ages conquerors of the Near East tried to destroy Tyre and her vast commercial empire for political or strategic reasons. Nebuchadnezzar, the mighty king of Babylon, spent thirteen futile years before the city. Alexander the Great of Macedon in 332 B.C. stormed Tyre relentlessly during seven months. He was successful at long last by joining the island city to the mainland with a causeway thus enabling him to bring up his siege towers to breach Tyre's formidable walls.
