PIX4658792 7 Wonders of the World: The Lighthouse of Alexandria - Egypt - The Pharos of Alexandria at twilight - The Pharos (lighthouse) of the ancient Egyptian city of Alexandria as it may have appeared 2,000 years ago. The lighthouse, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, was commissioned in the 3rd century BC by Ptolemy I and completed 12 years later under the rule of his son Ptolemy II. Built mostly with solid blocks of limestone, it is believed to have been about 400 feet tall (about 40 stories) making it one of the tallest man - made structures for many hundreds of years. It sat on the small island of Pharos near the coast of the Nile Delta's western edge, guiding ships to Alexandria's Great Harbor for nearly 1,500 years. The Pharos of Alexandria survived several major earthquakes until finally falling into ruin in in the 14th century. About 100 years later its limestone was used to construct the Citadel of Qaitbay at the same location

LLM8668691 The Lighthouse. The Pharos at Alexandria. One of the wonders of the ancient world, this tower, the "father of lighthouses," was built by Sostratus of Cnidus during the 3rd century BC. It is said to have been 600 ft in height, and the light of its blazing wood fire was visible for 27 miles. Apparatus of Modern Lighthouse. The light is usually provided by an incandescent burner, the illuminant being petroleum vapour. Surrounding this is a "hyper-radiant apparatus" some 12 feet in height, which is really an elaborate and carefully designed system of lenses by means of which intermittent beams of great intensity are secured with a comparatively small light.
