Ancient people, including the Phoenicians, Chinese, and Peruvians, discovered a dyeing process that utilized secretions of certain marine molluscs, animals that were also eaten as food.3 In processes that were perhaps closely guarded secrets, the molluscan secretions were heated for days in vats with water, salt, and additional additives including human urine, honey, etc. When the mixture was right, wool was dipped and allowed to air dry in sunlight to give the famous royal purple colors.
