Yes Beano I know that and I appreciate this a lot!
Even with some harsh critics you would still support me.
Since that is the best way to improve my technical skills and our common historical knowledge and the overall quality level of this whole forum. Also it sharpens the brain... at least my brain.
So you are, like all of you, welcome to post historic or technical background material again if you feel for it!

I am very sorry, my English is not good enough, I have often difficulties with understanding your sophisticated British language (or is it street slang?) in many other posts by you

Yes you are absolutely right in this
Beano Boy wrote:One has to agree Tyre was built up upon an island of rock?
Yes, not only build on a rock but in those days the sea was lower (or the earth under the rock was higher) so the rock carrying the walls looked higher too. So you have a point here too.

Don't you think it was still there during the crusades? By then Tyre was still (or again) a strong fortress and was besieged again.

This is an example that is typical for the humoristic or cryptic lines you end many of your replies with: I understand Gt Yarmouth is a coastal town close to your home. But I have no idea what you are trying to say here
