“In Spain, and more specifically on the Mediterranean coast and the Gulf of Cádiz, they are called cañaílla, and are appreciated as food.

It is a cannibalistic species; evidence suggests that intensive breeding by the ancient Minoans resulted in pierced shells, perhaps by other snails, due to the population density in breeding tanks.

>> Isn’t Greece in the East part of the Mediterranean Sea as well? Let me say it clearly = the Murex Brandaris was all over the Mediterranean See, and not just located in some parts of it. And yet, ONLY the Phoenicians had the knowledge and the patience to extract the Purple dye from it. Anyone wondering why? Like why hasn’t Ancient Egypt also extracted this rare, precious purple dye from the Murex Brandaris?

“Tyrian purple (Ancient Greek: πορφύρα porphúra; Latin: purpura), also known as Phoenician red, Phoenician purple, royal purple, imperial purple, or imperial dye, is a reddish-purple natural dye; the name Tyrian refers to Tyre, Lebanon. It is a secretion produced by several species of predatory sea snails in the family Muricidae, rock snails originally known by the name 'Murex'. In ancient times, extracting this dye involved tens of thousands of snails and substantial labor, and as a result, the dye was highly valued. The main chemical is 6,6′-dibromoindigo.

Background

Biological pigments were often difficult to acquire, and the details of their production were kept secret by the manufacturers. Tyrian purple is a pigment made from the mucus of several species of Murex snail. Production of Tyrian purple for use as a fabric dye began as early as 1200 BCE by the Phoenicians, and was continued by the Greeks and Romans until 1453 CE, with the fall of Constantinople. The pigment was expensive and complex to produce, and items colored with it became associated with power and wealth.”

>> This is correct. It was not easy to extract and create that color. The production details were kept very secretive. It wasn’t even shared with Ancient Egypt despite the Phoenicians have extremely close ties with them. I think the production of the purple dye is much much older than what is admitted here. Let’s say I’m suspecting it is. And I’m really curious to know how the Greeks then the Romans got their hands on the well-kept secrets in the production of this dye? Could they have gotten the secret information from the “stolen” Phoenician archives? Or was it infiltrated spies? And…once more….why is this dye was exclusively Phoenician? Why the formula was kept secretive? Was it truly as some claim? = to monopolize the market? Or was there something else behind all of this?

“Tyrian purple may first have been used by the ancient Phoenicians as early as 1570 BCE. It has been suggested that the name Phoenicia itself means 'land of purple'. The dye was greatly prized in antiquity because the colour did not easily fade, but instead became brighter with weathering and sunlight. It came in various shades, the most prized being that of black-tinted clotted blood.”

>> As I’ve just said, I’m suspecting the usage of the purple dye is much much older than the date given to us. The Greeks named the people living on the East coast of the Mediterranean Sea as Phoenicians. In the Etymology of the word, there is the “Red” component, just this same component exist in the etymology of the word Phoenix = the Bird of fire. This doesn’t mean both words are one and the same. This means that one people = the Greeks referred to 2 different things using the color Red.

“Because it was extremely difficult to make, Tyrian purple was expensive: the 4th century BCE historian Theopompus reported, "Purple for dyes fetched its weight in silver at Colophon" in Asia Minor. The expense meant that purple-dyed textiles became status symbols, whose use was restricted by sumptuary laws. The most senior Roman magistrates wore a toga praetexta, a white toga edged with a stripe of Tyrian purple. The even more sumptuous toga picta, solid Tyrian purple with a gold stripe, was worn by generals celebrating a Roman triumph.”

>> “The purple-dyed textiles became status symbols”. It was during the Greek period, but mostly during the Roman period that the “Bloodlines” took = stole the “meaning” of the purple color and made it (((their))) symbol. Because (((they))) understand what it means, what it really means.

“By the fourth century CE, sumptuary laws in Rome had been tightened so much that only the Roman emperor was permitted to wear Tyrian purple. As a result, 'purple' is sometimes used as a metonym for the office (e.g. the phrase 'donned the purple' means 'became emperor'). The production of Tyrian purple was tightly controlled in the succeeding Byzantine Empire and subsidized by the imperial court, which restricted its use for the colouring of imperial silks. Later (9th century) a child born to a reigning emperor was said to be porphyrogenitos, "born in the purple".

>> For the Bloodlines the purple dyed clothes have 2 meanings = it’s symbolic of “special” Royalty in Atlantis. And it also reflects (((their))) purple blood, literally purple blood cause by the McLeod Syndrome.

“Some speculate that the dye extracted from the Bolinus brandaris is known as argaman (ארגמן) in Biblical Hebrew. Another dye extracted from a related sea snail, Hexaplex trunculus, produced a blue colour after light exposure which could be the one known as tekhelet (תְּכֵלֶת), used in garments worn for ritual purposes.”

>> “Some”?! Whom are these “Some”? See how (((they))) try to insert the Jews in it once more. It MAY BE, it’s NOT SURE, but let’s just glue it to the Phoenician making a purple dye, despite what the Jews produced was Blue (supposedly). (((They))) truly like to ride on the coattail of the Phoenicians. Even if it turned out to be true the Jews used to produce a Blue color dye, it wasn’t as old as what the Phoenicians did. The Jewish “supposed culture” started to show somewhere in the first millennium BC, but the Phoenician culture and civilization was there since at least 7 thousand BC. There are at least 6 to 5 thousand years of difference and the Phoenicians are way much older than the Jewish culture. The Jews copied, imitated or stole what the Phoenician had and whom they were.
