The more recent attempt was by an English general who heard about the ideal location, and that the only thing stopping people was some God given legend.
He hired the best builders and architects his money could buy. He wasn't hurting for cash. He sailed over with men and materials and set to work building.
After the walls started going up, an earthquake hit knocking everything down. Unusual.
So they started rebuilding again. And again another earthquake knocked down their progress.
So they started building again. ...and you guessed it.
This little game lasted six months before he finally gave up in disgust, and went home.
The earthquakes, that hadn't happened there before, stopped as well. Leaving Tyre as an inviting place as ever.
