WORLD CIVILIZATION

Detailed explanation-1: -Tyre, situated approximately 50 miles south of Beirut, was founded by Phoenician settlers in the third millennium B.C. From its foundation, the city functioned as a critical trading hub and commercial port and, consequently, was the frequent target of military campaigns from neighboring empires in the region.

Detailed explanation-2: -In 332 BCE, Alexander laid siege to Tyre. He dismantled the old city on the coast and used the rubble to build a causeway across the sea, connecting the mainland to the island city of Tyre. After several months, the besieged city fell and came under the direct control of Alexander’s empire.
