Hi all this my recreation of the famous lighthouse of Alexandria. The lighthouse is 186 blocks high so any incoming ships should be able to see it ;p
The Lighthouse of Alexandria, sometimes called the Pharos of Alexandria, was a lighthouse built by the Greek Ptolemaic Kingdom of Ancient Egypt, during the reign of Ptolemy II Philadelphus (280–247 BC). It has been estimated to have been at least 100 metres (330 ft) in overall height. It is also regarded as One of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, for many centuries it was one of the tallest man-made structures in the world.
The lighthouse was severely damaged by three earthquakes between 956 and 1323 AD and became an abandoned ruin. It was the third-longest surviving ancient wonder (after the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus and the extant Great Pyramid of Giza), surviving in part until 1480, when the last of its remnant stones were used to build the Citadel of Qaitbay on the site.
Feel free to use the built just give me credit for building it thanks!
