Description
The Pharos of Alexandria, 18th century. One of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Pharos of Alexandria was a lighthouse built by Sostratus of Cnidus in 280 BC on the island of Pharos in the bay of Alexandria, Egypt. The lighthouse operated by means of a mirror to reflect sunlight during the day, and a fire lit at the top of the tower at night. It remained operational until it was largely destroyed by earthquakes in the 14th century. (Colorised black and white print).Artist Unknown. (Photo by The Print Collector/Getty Images)
