Making Murex Purple Dye in Lockdown - Interview (Part 2 of 2) with Mohammed Ghassen Nouira
For 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.
