    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.
