Please explin how old Tyre has not been found, even if we grant that it was destroyed the passage also said it would never be found again, and it has. So...?
I think you have confused yourself. Read the prophesy again:
19 “For thus says the Lord God: ‘When I make you a desolate city, like cities that are not inhabited, when I bring the deep upon you, and great waters cover you, 20 then I will bring you down with those who descend into the Pit, to the people of old, and I will make you dwell in the lowest part of the earth, in places desolate from antiquity, with those who go down to the Pit, so that you may never be inhabited; and I shall establish glory in the land of the living. 21 I will make you a terror, and you shall be no more; though you are sought for, you will never be found again,’ says the Lord God.”
What has been cast down into the 'pit' Is it inhabited? a simple Yes or No will do.

Tyre was never lost. Attacked by the Babylonians the city held out as the Babylonians lacked a fleet to capture it. Later subdued by the Persians the Tyrian navy supplied a significant contingent to the Persian fleet which attacked Greece. Remaining a loyal Persian ally they were conquered by Alexander the Great ( somehow drippy's fucking "bible" missed that" but Alex knew a good port when he saw one and did not destroy the city, either. Tyre was still around in the Roman period, in the Byzantine period, in the Islamic period, during the Crusades...etc., etc. to today where it is the 4th largest city in Lebanon.
But drippy just needs to invent shit to get his god off the hook. Apparently god needs a better lawyer than drippy to get him off this time.
And we haven't even talked about Egypt or Damascus, yet.
appearently you have confused yourself as well and do not remember even how this prophesy begins:
3 “Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Behold, I am against you, O Tyre, and will cause many nations to come up against you, as the sea causes its waves to come up.
Babylon, The Persians, Greece they all fall under "a great many nations do they not?"
Or are you saying that the first attack by babylon was enough to be considered "A Great many nations" Ezekel spoke of all by itself?
