Did Nebby create a mole to attack the Island like Alexander the Great did?

Sheshonq

Why would he need to?

You haven't shown that he lacked the military equipment to attack it.

Keep avoiding that pesky detail - I'll keep reminding you about it.

Why would an Island Tyre surrender to Nebby if the can always get fresh supplies by ship?

Sheshonq

Because they were still being attacked anyhow?

Because they were cut off from their supplies of wood and water on the coast?

Because their supply lines were being messed with and were not reliable? And the supplies that did get through were costing them 10 times as much, due to the added risk that shippers would have to face?

Because 13 years of diminished profits as an economic powerhouse is a big price to pay?


You really aren't very educated in these matters, are you?

Perhaps you are having difficulty the notion of "siege". It basically means to stop all supplies from going in to the sieged area until the people inside are starved into submission. The process can be hurried by attack, but it is not necessary. Hope that helps.

And Nebby had ships to prevent Tyre from getting fresh supplies?

Why are you unable to actually read this thread?

That is the more pertinent question.

Why don't you go back to page 1, start again, and see how many of these questions have already been answered?

Sheshonq

You're the one who claimed he had no ships. Let's see the proof for your claim.

BWAHAHAHAAA! WHO AM I KIDDING?

Another fundamentalist chewed up and spit out like a doggie chew toy.

From where exactly? Babylon was in possession of all the Levantine coast. No city would help it and risk the same fate. Obviously Tyre got supplies from far off, but it was long and risky business. After 13 years of this with no income to support expenditure on dangerous supply voyages, it is not hard to see the eventual outcome of submission.

Now read carefully before responding. (So frequently today I get the idea that you don't remember what anyone has posted.)
