I'm curious how believers respond to these failed prophecies. Are they not
meant to be taken as prophecies, or what?..
King Tutankhamun die during Passover at the age of 18. He was a first born child.

Apparently the distinction is lost on you.
I'm not all that surprised, given your quick latching onto the poor attempt represented by this website.
Critical thinking is nowhere to be found therein.
If you are gullible enough to consider such superficiality as warranting your confidence, best of luck.

The two old cities have been destroyed. The mainland city of tyre was first destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar, but he was unable to get to the Island city, which was later destroyed by Alexander the Great who used some of the ruins of the old in building a causeway in the sea to reach it. It is the causeway that is used by the fishermen today to dry there net on. The Island city is gone bye bye. It has never been rebuilt because the island it set on is apparently under the sea now.

What an unconvincing and muddled little bit of "evidence" your God figure's literature has left you grasping at.

Thanks for reiterating what was plain to read in the article I linked too. I'm
sure that helped someone. You seem to have missed the part that says:

[Alexander the so called great] dismantled much of the old
mainland city of Ushu as well as using fallen debris, rock, and felled trees,
filling in the sea between the mainland and the island to create a land
bridge for his war machines. Over the centuries since, this caused heavy
sedimentation to occur and permanently linked the island to the
mainland; which is why Tyre is not an island today.

Apparently, to you, any set of statements that can be said to match in
part are considered fulfilled prophecies. Hear this! The country known as
the USA will one day fall under its own corruption, and a knew power will
rule the Americas, and tonight I will have pizza to commemorate the
memory of what will be. If this prophecy of mine comes true (if in part
only), then I'm a prophet. 😏

😲

What's that on my table over there? Is that?.. Is that a pizza? Ho - ly -
sh|t - I'm a frigging prophet. HA! Who'd have thought!? 😕

So you believe that is why the island city of Tyre can not be found now. Well, anyway I think there is enough evidence to debunk the idea that it is not a fulfilled prophecy.
