According to this Spiegel article, Alexander’s engineers may have had less of a challenge building their mole than has been commonly thought. It had been my impression that there was a channel of significant depth between the island of Tyre and the mainland, in addition to the shallows. Has anyone read the scholarly article referenced?

I have not checked this forum frequently since 2013, but I hope that these old posts have some value. I now have a blog on books, swords, and the curious things humans do with them.
