“Recently, the archaeological discovery of substantial numbers of Murex shells on Crete suggests that the Minoans may have pioneered the extraction of Imperial purple centuries before the Tyrians. Dating from collocated pottery suggests the dye may have been produced during the Middle Minoan period in the 20th–18th century BCE. Accumulations of crushed murex shells from a hut at the site of Coppa Nevigata in southern Italy may indicate production of purple dye there from at least the 18th century BCE.”
>> This is written with the assumption the Phoenician invented the dye somewhere in the first millennium B.C. without considering the possibility this could actually thousands of years old. Also there are indications that some of the Greek islands were initially Phoenician colonies Don’t disregard the possibility of southern Italy being a territory run by the Phoenicians, long ago.
“The production of Murex purple for the Byzantine court came to an abrupt end with the sack of Constantinople in 1204, the critical episode of the Fourth Crusade. David Jacoby concludes that "no Byzantine emperor nor any Latin ruler in former Byzantine territories could muster the financial resources required for the pursuit of murex purple production. On the other hand, murex fishing and dyeing with genuine purple are attested for Egypt in the tenth to 13th centuries." By contrast, Jacoby finds that there are no mentions of purple fishing or dyeing, nor trade in the colorant in any Western source, even in the Frankish Levant. The European West turned instead to vermilion provided by the insect Kermes vermilio, known as grana, or crimson.
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 … strong fishy smell, which appears to be as lasting as the color itself." Likewise, the ancient Egyptian Papyrus of Anastasi laments: "The hands of the dyer reek like rotting fish …" So pervasive was this stench that the Talmud specifically granted women the right to divorce any husband who became a dyer after marriage.
In 2021, archaeologists found surviving wool fibers dyed with royal purple in the Timna Valley in Israel. The find, which was dated to c. 1000 BCE, constituted the first direct evidence of fabric dyed with the pigment from antiquity.”
>> It’s very interesting isn’t it to find out almost the same exact dye was produced in Mexico. Not said which civilization or culture did it, but I found out it was practiced in the region called Oaxana. They used almost same sea snails, same technique, same secret. And the value of the purple dye clothing was as high as what it was in the Mediterranean basin. It was also worn by “high ranking” people there. What does this tell you anons?
For the papyri from Ancient Egypt, it talks about dyers in general, it doesn’t specify at all which dye color they worked on. Same thing goes for the stuff mentioned about the Jews. And (((they))) have to insert (((themselves))) in this one more time. From the hundreds of examples out there, Wikipedia only picked purple fibers found in Israel, not from anywhere else in the world. This is how (((they))) play with your mind and program it to think of the Jews and Israel each time you think of the pruple dye. This is so that your mind would connect them to royalty = redirecting your thoughts into thinking of the Jews as royalty. It’s all a mind game anons. All of this is very psychological. Mind control and thought manipulation = this is what the Jews are good at and (((they))) have been at it for at least 2 thousand years now.
