Wonder of the World, Lighthouse at Alexandria

The lighthouse at Alexandria, Egypt was built in the 3rd century BC. The height of the lighthouse was estimated to be between 380 and 440 feet tall. It was identified as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World by Antipater of Sidon. The lighthouse was badly damaged, with barely any remaining ruins, after three earthquakes. The first was in 956, then another in 1303, and the last in 1323. Engraving appeared in Costumes, manners, customs and material culture in Antiquity and the Middle Ages by Robert von Spalart, circa 1804-11.
