Failed prophecy in the bible if one cares to look

Of course this is about Tyre
Critics say that the prophecy says Tyre will never be rebuilt and yet it was.
Christians respond by saying that the prophesy really says is Tyre will never regain its independence wealth and power.
They assert confidently that history shows it was never independent again and never regained its wealth power, glory, in all history...
That can sound very convincing and hard to beat when they state it with so much confidence.
Well lets just see if that's true.
Google search: how rich and influential was Tyre compared to other cities at the time Nebuchednezzer sieged it
It shows Tyre was indeed the wealthiest, most powerful etc. of the time (excluding the super powers of the day)
Awhile later Alexander the Great sieged it.
We know the city was soon rebuilt because historical documents say the Seleucid empire took control of the city of Tyre (can be found on Google).
The Seleucid empire then lost control of it and Tyre became an independent republic (also can be found on Google).
The Seleucid empire continued to try to regain control of the city but failed.
Google search: how rich and influential was Tyre compared to other cities at the time the Seleucids tried to control it
Google shows how Tyre was again the wealthiest, most powerful etc. of the time (also excluding the super powers of the day). Really.
Unfortunately, and of course, I can't get and research the actual historical documents concerning these two periods to fully prove it for myself.
Even so, I think common sense says Tyre regained its wealth, power and independence.
Thus the biblical prophecy failed.
bah would have put the links in but they were too large and didn't know how to shorten them, if even possible....
