all that talk about dyes in bleaches, floor cleaners, detergents, plastics last bread makes me wonder about that purple phoenician dye and if it has any special properties. is it poisonous? does it get you high as fuck? does it produce a sedated and compliant slave population in the parts per million dose range?

"Recent research in organic electronics has shown that Tyrian purple is an ambipolar organic semiconductor. Transistors and circuits based on this material can be produced from sublimed thin-films of the dye. The good semiconducting properties of the dye originate from strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding that reinforces pi stacking necessary for transport."

 

you could dye an antenna shape on your royal clothes and help your demons find you.

 

In 1909, Harvard anthropologist Zelia Nuttall compiled an intensive comparative study on the historical production of the purple dye produced from the carnivorous murex snail, source of the royal purple dye valued higher than gold in the ancient Near East and ancient Mexico. Not only did the people of ancient Mexico use the same methods of production as the Phoenicians, they also valued murex-dyed cloth above all others, as it appeared in codices as the attire of nobility. "Nuttall noted that the Mexican murex-dyed cloth bore a "disagreeable โ€ฆ strong fishy smell, which appears to be as lasting as the color itself."[31] Likewise, the ancient Egyptian Papyrus of Anastasi laments: "The hands of the dyer reek like rotting fish โ€ฆ"[32] So pervasive was this stench that the Talmud specifically granted women the right to divorce any husband who became a dyer after marriage.[33]

 

they could smell you too. maybe it wasn't just cabbage farts.
