I saw a TikTok about a man who reverse engineered how to make imperial purple dye as the Phonecians did. But the art was lost for over 600 years! Reminded me of @cora.bsky.social

Yes, the dyes come from multiple combinations of three different snail glands. And the way the dyes are fermented is incredible. Some dyes are activated by moonlight!
