Please be sure to watch part 1 [The Minoans priestly elite of Phoenicia] it is the prequel, & properly introduces this video. : )
If we read all of the chapters concerning Tire & Sidon, we will find that what was not to be found again was a mighty & glorious Tire one with many daughter cities all over. As in asking:
Where is the mighty & glorious Tire?
Answer: there is not Tire glorious & mighty anymore.
None the less, next I'll attempt to give a possible theory about this prophecy.
As you read you may ask : why destroy Thira & not Tire?
Answer: it is thought that there is a possibility that the Labyrinth temple of the minotaur was located in Thira, that is why it hasn't been found, I argue that Syrians built their main temple on that Island where they kept the live minotaur, their God-king, the object of their affection, so that temple was taken down as a means to take away their pride, similar to what we read in Ezekiel 24:21
"I am about to desecrate my sanctuary—the stronghold in which you take pride, the delight of your eyes, the object of your affection."
