Egypt The Lighthouse of Alexandria
This great lighthouse, which is counted as one of
the seven wonders of the world, was constructed
on a reef called the island of Pharos (at
Alexandria, in present-day Egypt) about A.D. 250
by Ptolemy Philadelphus. It is said that its light,
A
generated by a fire and projected by a mirror,
could be seen up to 50 kilometers (30 miles) away.
The lighthouse was destroyed in the 14th century.
A medieval fortress was built on the site,
obliterating any trace of its remains.
