The Lighthouse of Alexandria, sometimes called the Pharos of Alexandria (/ˈfɛərɒs/; Ancient Greek: ὁ Φάρος τῆς Ἀλεξανδρείας), was a lofty tower built by the Ptolemaic Kingdom
between 280 and 247 BC and between 393 and 450 ft (120 and 137 m) tall.
It was one of the tallest man-made structures on Earth for many
centuries, and was regarded as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
Badly damaged by three earthquakes between 956 and 1323, it then became
an abandoned ruin. It was the third longest surviving ancient wonder
(after the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus and the still extant Great Pyramid of Giza) until in 1480 the last of its remnant stones were used to build the Citadel of Qaitbay
on the site. In 1994, French archaeologists discovered some remains of
the lighthouse on the floor of Alexandria's Eastern Harbour.
