331 BC (About 2,300 years ago)
Alexander and his army attacked the island fortress of the Phoenician city of Tyre. His army took rubble from the mainland of Tyre and tossed the debris into the sea, building a walkway to the island. This helped Alexander's army conquer the island fortress, bringing an end to the Phoenician Empire.
