I researched and presented a whole class on techeyles once. Of course you probably know that there is an orthodox, though minority, opinion that the correct crustacean has been found and the blue dyed tzitzis can be seen again.

And Sunken Civ’s article is the murex snail, I believe. What the modern researchers found is that exposing the blood (or bile) mixture of the snail to sunlight for longer times made it shift from reddish purple to the beautiful blue seen in the link.

While visiting Israel, I visited the Ptil Tekhelet factory, which is in Kafir Adumim, on the road to the Dead Sea. They raise the snail called the
Murex trunculus, which is the rediscovered source of the blue dye for
tsitsis, the ritual fringes on the corners of an Orthodox Jewish man's
tallis (prayer shawl).
They also raise sheep as a source of wool for the fringes. Visitors can pet the sheep as well as take a turn turning the loom handle to produce the string. Here is the webpage for the factory, with a fascinating account of the history of the rediscovery of the source of this color:

“All that law stuff in the old testament is the equivalent of the laws of the US. It is the law crated for a theocracy”
Sorry, but you couldn’t be more wrong if you tried.
The law was given to set apart(sanctify) Israel and to show us what sin looks like. In the perfect sense it was set to lead us to Jesus Christ. U.S. law was crated with the Law of Moses as the example for a moral God fearing people.

"U.S. law was created with the Law of Moses as the example for a moral God fearing people."Yes, but some credit must be given to the Greeks.
When asked once what was the philosophy underlying the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson replied that: All its authority rests
on the harmonizing sentiments of the day, whether expressed in conversation, in letters, printed essays, or in the elementary books of public right, as Aristotle, Cicero, Locke, Sidney, &c.
John Adams similarly wrote that the principles of the American Revolution are the principles of Aristotle and Plato, of Livy and Cicero, and Sidney, Harrington, and Locke; the principles of nature and eternal reason; the principles on which the whole government over us now stands.

We are actually in agreement. My comment was, looking back, way too broad.

Laws change. Times change. Jesus’s messages are timeless.

Most collectors consider Plancheite in its rare crystal form and found in the Congo, as the most vivid blue to be found on earth. Maybe, but I think it's very hard to beat hauyne or lazurite. I've never seen crystallized plancheite but hauyne to me is the most amazing blue I've seen. Also cornflower blue sapphire and the full blue palette of corundum can be breathtaking.

On the way to work this morning, I saw a kid with a purple mohawk and a skateboard waiting to cross at an intersection. Should I have done obeisance?...............
