EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World: the Pharos of Alexandria, also known as the Lighthouse of Alexandria. Constructed under the reign of Ptolemy II Philadelphus around 280-247 BC, this architectural marvel was a gift to the seafarers and sailors who navigated the treacherous waters of the Mediterranean Sea. Designed by the brilliant architect Sostratus of Sidon, the lighthouse stood proudly on the island of Pharos, just off the coast of Alexandria in Egypt. The Pharos of Alexandria was a marvel of ancient engineering, with its height estimated to be around 120-137 meters (393-449 feet) tall. Its grandeur was not only in its impressive height but also in its striking white color, which could be seen from an astonishing distance of 50 km (31 miles) out at sea. This beacon of light guided sailors safely to the shores of Alexandria, making it an essential landmark for ancient maritime trade routes. The historical significance of the Pharos of Alexandria extends beyond its practical use as a lighthouse. It represented the pinnacle of ancient Greek and Egyptian architectural achievements and served as a symbol of the wealth and power of the Ptolemaic Kingdom. The lighthouse continued to stand for over a thousand years, inspiring awe and admiration from travelers and scholars alike. This photograph print offers a glimpse into the rich history of the Pharos of Alexandria, transporting us back to a time when human ingenuity and architectural prowess shaped the world around us. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of human creativity and the importance of preserving our historical and cultural heritage.
