__________________________________________________ "The old city, previously known as Ushu, was founded c. 2750 BCE and the trade centre grew up shortly after. The Tyrians were known as workers in dye from the shells of the Murex shellfish. This purple dye was highly valued and held royal connotations in the ancient world. It also gave the Phoenicians their name from the Greeks - Phoinikes - which means "purple people. "
