How Alexander the Great Conquered Tyre (332 BCE)
An island fortress sits nearly one kilometer offshore.
No land connection.
Walls rising over 40 meters straight from the sea.
A powerful navy guarding its harbors.
For centuries, no army has taken it.
Alexander the Great stands on the mainland with 30,000 soldiers…
and no fleet.
By every rule of ancient warfare, this is where his campaign should end.
It doesn’t.
