The Lighthouse of Alexandria

Written by Steven N. Ng


Continued from page 1

On top of this was a circular tower that housedrepparttar fire (for use to alert ships duringrepparttar 140295 night) andrepparttar 140296 great mirror (for use duringrepparttar 140297 day). A statue of Poseidon stood on top this tower.

The Pharos Lighthouse was a true wonder in architecture and engineering, bearing similarities to modern skyscrapers. It measured up to a modern 40-story building. The Greeks were so impressed with it that they included it as one ofrepparttar 140298 Seven Wonders ofrepparttar 140299 Ancient World.

The mirror ofrepparttar 140300 Pharos Lighthouse appeared to be quite famous in ancient times. Many people believed thatrepparttar 140301 mirror was so smooth and powerful that it could be used to reflectrepparttar 140302 sun's rays onto invading ships and burn them. Another belief was thatrepparttar 140303 mirror was so strong it could be used to observe and spy on competing city-states acrossrepparttar 140304 Mediterranean Sea, more than 100 miles away. However, it is highly unlikely that either of these stories are true.

From historical evidence, it appears thatrepparttar 140305 Pharos Lighthouse was also a tourist attraction. Hundreds of visitors climbedrepparttar 140306 Lighthouse everyday to enjoyrepparttar 140307 fantastic view around Alexandria. Food vendors also sold their goods atrepparttar 140308 top of each section ofrepparttar 140309 Pharos.

However,repparttar 140310 Pharos Lighthouse was damaged by earthquakes, becoming totally demolished inrepparttar 140311 early 14th century. Its ruins and location were subsequently used byrepparttar 140312 Egyptian Sultan Qaitbay to build a fort in 1480, thus endingrepparttar 140313 story for this Wonder ofrepparttar 140314 World.
