Making Murex Purple Dye in Lockdown - Interview (Part 2 of 2) with Mohammed Ghassen NouiraFor the ancient Phoenicians, Tyrian Purple Dye was by far their most valuable export. In the previous, Ghassen explains how important purple dye was for putting the Phoenicians on the map as international traders and how he came to rediscover the long forgotten practice of producing it. In this episode, we find out how Purple dye has changed Ghassen’s life, how his father saved his marriage (after a murex related ultimatum), and he tells me what exactly makes the murex dye so special. Support the Podcast by making a donation: here Follow GhassenPhoenician/Carthaginian Purple Dye (pourpre) (Facebook Group)pourpre de Carthage (Facebook Page)FollowInstagram: @Phoenicia.shipFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/PhoeniciansBeforeColumbus/Expedition Website: https://www.phoeniciansbeforecolumbus.com/HelpIf you enjoyed the podcast, would you please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?***MusicTheme music: Glory Hunters  by Rafael KruxLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/5654-glory-hunters-License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Outro Music:Triumphant Return by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)Artist: http://audionautix.com/Support the show
