What Happened to the Lighthouse of Alexandria? The 7 Wonders of the Ancient World
Rising above Alexandria’s harbor, the Lighthouse of Alexandria was a marvel of ancient engineering and one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Built in the 3rd century BC under the reign of Ptolemy II, it guided sailors with a bronze mirror by day and a fire by night. Blending Egyptian and Greek architectural styles, it stood for fifteen hundred years before earthquakes finally brought it down. Myths of magical mirrors and hidden treasures add to its legend—while underwater discoveries continue to reveal the secrets of this lost wonder.
