How does one excavate something without being in said thing's prescence?
What are you talking about? The city has not been excavated. It sits under the causway/ Land that once was the ocean between the main land and the Island port. Some time after the sea deposited a trillion tons of sand on the stones that once was Ezekeil's city of tyre. The modern city of Tyre was built on top of the causeway that form on top of the stones alexander's army cast into the sea. In order to 'excavate' Ezk's tyre the new city (skyscrapers and highways) have to be torn down. Ezk's tyre is gone and will never be found again.
(Maybe if you took the time to look at some of the links provided we would not be rehashing established material.)
As I have pointed out many times now and posted links to confirm The Ruins of tyre that can be seen are the reminants of what was built by the Romans (centuries after Ezekiel's tyre was cast into the sea.)
There are/were 3 cities set on 3 seperate foundations all name Tyre. Just because number 2 or city number 3 have the name tyre does not mean the prophecy in Ezk did not come true.
