| | The Lighthouse of AlexandriaWritten by Steven N. Ng
The Lighthouse of Alexandria is one of Seven Wonders of Ancient World. It is most recent Wonder to be built, having been built during reign of Ptolemy I of Egypt, a commander under Alexander Great who took over control of Egypt after Alexander's death. Historical records indicate that Lighthouse was commissioned in 290 B.C. and completed some 2 decades later.The Lighthouse of Alexandria is also most well-recorded of six destroyed members of Seven Wonders of The Ancient World (the Pyramids of Giza being only Wonder still standing), since it was still in operation until a serious of earthquakes demolished structure over a few decades in early 14th century. Since it survived until so recently, writings of many of travelers who visited Lighthouse of Alexandria also survived till this day, vividly describing what Lighthouse looked like and what it was used for. The Lighthouse of Alexandria was built on island of Pharos just off coast of Alexandria, Egypt. As such, it was also commonly known as Pharos Lighthouse. The Lighthouse was designed by famed architect Sostratus, and was so complicated that it took 2 decades to be completed. The best description came from writings of Arab traveler Abou-Haggag Al-Andaloussi when he visited Pharos Lighthouse in 1166. The writings indicated that structure consisted of 4 main sections. At bottom was a platform filled with statues that are still being discovered by present-day divers off coast of Alexandria. Some researchers believe that ships docked just off this platform as well. On top of this platform stood a square structure measuring 18 m (60 ft) on each side and roughly 56 m (184 ft) tall. In middle of this section is a shaft and stairwell used for transporting material and fuel up Pharos Lighthouse, and for visitors as well. The third section was an eight-sided structure measuring roughly 27 m (90 ft) high. It also contained a similar transportation shaft in middle.
