@alextwma: Tyrian purple: the most expensive color ever.

zephyr Lucius :

just mix red and blue yo ✌️

Odys._.158 :

got it for free

Sydney Nicole :

i think the true luxury is wearing purple without it killing 10000+ snails and making everything stink

BetterCallJuve :

gonna mansplain it to my date tomorrow

Amy 🛸 :

I prefer my purple snail free.

Yara Gómez :

The Mixtecos and Zapotecos in Mexico used this same species to extract dye since the 900's, but they did it in a way that the snail survived.

Veraaarrrggghhh🥴🩷 :

I'm more intrigued by how they even found out they could get the dye from snails through all that process.

tbvegan33 :

Let’s not continue brainwashing ourselves that special things are only for the rich and should come at the expense of others lives, animals or humans.

kattenvoorlichting.nl 🇳🇱 :

Poor snails 😢

Abderrahmane :

I wonder how much time and research u put into making this video

Mohamed Amine zgohndi :

Tunisia MANTIONED RAHHHHH🔥🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

Berry :

Is this a very interesting story? Yes. Is it exciting that we managed to recreate the ancient, lost, dye? Yes! Would I ever be interested in owning anything that is so unreasonably difficult to obtain for what it offers today? Hell no.

✨Tittel✨🇨🇼☀️ :

Is it true luxury or is it greed?😅

user5701893255340 :

And what is that all for....because humans found it pretty🙄 like seriously we are so destructive for no good reason

Wilkołaak :

Imagine being the intern who had to count all SIXTY MILLION shells during the excavation

gia 🪐🪐 :

i will never ever ever skip these vids

Selim :

Give some credit to the Phoenicians bro. Tyre is Lebanese city

carter :

Snailgenie :

Let’s go ahead and lose that recipe again

ybg don :

“Look at this color”

spacestationlevel_7 :

If the synthetic Tyrian purple looks the same I don’t see the point in going through this obnoxious process just to say “yeah this tie was dyed using the remnants of thousands of snail corpses.” Sounds pretty cringe when you put it like that.

Oyunjkhai :

it seems that luxury is about the process not the product itself

joe :

history major here.. he’s 100% right.. those who know..

Mithun :

And Donna went to Pompei wearing that purple 😭
