EDITORS COMMENTS
This image portrays one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World: the Pharos of Alexandria, also known as the Lighthouse of Alexandria or the Tower of Ptolemy. Constructed by the Greek architect Sostratus of Cnidus for Ptolemy Philadelphus, the lighthouse was a marvel of ancient engineering and architecture. Located in Alexandria, Egypt, the Pharos was a towering structure that stood approximately 120 meters tall, making it one of the tallest structures in the ancient world. Its light, fueled by a large bonfire at its summit, could be seen up to 50 kilometers out to sea, making it an essential navigational aid for ancient mariners. The Pharos was a marvel of its time, and its construction is shrouded in mystery. Some historians believe that it was built as a tomb for one of the Ptolemaic queens, while others believe it was a symbol of Ptolemy's wealth and power. Regardless of its purpose, the Pharos was a testament to the ingenuity and engineering prowess of the ancient world. This stunning print, created by Picart and published by Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when such feats of engineering were considered the pinnacle of human achievement. The image captures the grandeur and majesty of the Pharos, with its intricate details and elegant design. Ships can be seen in the foreground, adding a sense of scale to the image and reminding us of the vital role the lighthouse played in ancient maritime trade and exploration. The Pharos of Alexandria stood for over a thousand years, inspiring awe and wonder in all who saw it. Its ruins still stand today, a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of the ancient world.
