    Very informative. I stumbled on a mention of this dye in the Bible. Can’t wait to share the details with my congregation on Sunday. Thank you

    Thanks for the really informative video - my art history class discussed the Justinian mosaic but I had no idea that the cloak he was wearing was this valuable :x looking forward to your next video! :D

    I recently found your History of Colors videos the other day and have been watching a few, they're so informative and cool! But I'm just now realizing these are old videos, and I'm bummed because after watching this one, I was so pumped to see one about Vermilion... I doubt you'll be doing a vermilion video anytime soon😩

    There's a city named Tyre in Lebanon, Tuirean was an ancient celtic god, and the Etruscans had a king Tyhranius. The Tuirean sea in Italy. There's an ancient Irish story about the tragedy of Tuireans sons. It tells of travels and war all through Mediterranean and up to Denmark.

      +Little Art Talks That's wha I understand. He wrote the process based on what he knew. No one thinks he got the entire recipe.

    • @vault703overseer2
      @vault703overseer2 6 років тому +2

      +C.E. Parks That's because there never has been a "the recipe" or singular process in existence. The color would have changed depending on how the dye was handled/used/blended after extraction. Simply changing a mordant will alter the color produced on a finish product. Each ancient Bob Ross would have a different recipe.
