From January to July 332, Alexander the Great attempted conquering the naval port of the Persians, Tyre. Alexander ordered a dam to be built because the town was built on an island. After Alexander the Great got support from the naval city of Sidon, he conquered the city. The Tyrains got crushed in so many ways, some committed suicide, others attacked the enemy, and others hid somewhere. Alexander gave orders that everyone not in the temple should be killed and all the homes shall be burned to the ground. The result was terrible, 6000 men that had fought the enemy were brutally killed. This had a very negative impact to Tyre.
