WikiPedia says: “historian Herodotus … visited Tyre around 450 BC … and wrote … that according to the priests there, the city was founded 2300 years earlier …. Archaeological evidence has corroborated this timing.”

I write this from Sunnyvale, California, incorporated in 1912.

Ahem.

@J12t He had good sources. The priests' oral history was reasonably accurate which is kind of nice. By contrast, I think Lupa weening Romulus and Rimus is about as historical as George Washington and the Cherry Tree.
