Approximately 3,000 years ago, Phoenician merchants created the world's first birth month color system using purple dye, where summer babies received the deepest royal purple from 12,000 murex shells collected by diving families, winter babies received lighter shades from fewer shells, and spring and fall births received intermediate shades; this tradition spread through Phoenician trade networks from Spain to North Africa, was adopted by Romans for their emperors, and became the foundation for all European royal purple traditions and modern birthstone jewelry.

Your Birth Month Determined Your Social Status 3000 Years AgoAjouté :
Did you know your birth month determined your social status [music] in ancient times? 3,000 years ago, Phoenician merchants created the world's first birth month color system using purple dye. If you were born in summer, your family would [music] dive deep into Mediterranean waters collecting 12,000 murex shells to create the deepest [music] royal purple for your birth garment. Winter babies got lighter shades from fewer shells. Spring and fall births fell somewhere in between.
Phoenician fathers risked drowning in these dangerous diving expeditions timing their hunts to match precise seasonal cycles. [music] Once collected, priests at Bale temples would bless each purple dyed birth garment in elaborate ceremonies. This wasn't just tradition, it was big business. [music] Phoenician trading ships spread this purple birth system from Spain to North Africa creating massive wealth for merchant families in Tyre and Sidon. The Romans eventually [music] adopted this system for their emperors. Every European royal purple tradition traces back to these Phoenician birth month codes. Your birthstone jewelry today? It all started with those ancient shell divers. Find treasure celebrating birth month traditions at Trunk Show on eBay and Etsy.
