Talk:Tyre
From Academic Kids
- Sidon was the oldest Phoenician city, but Tyre had a longer and more illustrious history. The modern city is named Sur.
If Sidon is older, how does Tyre have a longer history?
- [comment on the anon. note above] Indeed. Furthermore it is nonesense. Sidon and Tyre go back to the Neolithic, along with Byblos, Beirut, and other cities. No one of them can claim to be older than the others. Politically Sidon was, during the Iron Age, more powerful than Tyre at first, but this power later shifted to Tyre (and this was all after Byblos had lost any claim to power).

Move Page
Shouldn't this page be moved, so as to avoid confusion when Australians, Britons, the Irish, etc are searching for information on a wheel tyre. I suggest a new page title of "Tyre (Phoenician city)" or something similar. -- AxSkov 12:57, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- I don't think so. Nearly all the incoming links were for the city, and I just fixed those that weren't. The disambiguation header should be sufficient. —No-One Jones (m) 12:59, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Dates of kings
Why aren't the dates of some kings listed? If they aren't known, question marks or guesses should be added. --Simetrical 02:37, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)
