The site of Alexander Gudenta, located on the island of Faros by the sea in Alexandria, is known as one of the seven wonders of the world, but now there are only pedestal sites left. But the scale of the site and the archaeological discovery of the lighthouse is really huge, and it was definitely a behemoth in the world at the time.

The site of the ancient lighthouse of Alexandria is the seventh wonder of the world, located on the island of Faros on the edge of Alexandria, and still retains the huge base of the lighthouse. You can imagine how tall and majestic the lighthouse was at that time, and it is definitely worth visiting.

The Alexandria Lighthouse, said to have been built from 281 BC until Egypt was defeated and conquered by the Arab Islamic Army in 641 AD, was extinguished by the giant lighthouse. The lighthouse was repaired several times but was eventually destroyed by the earthquake after 922 years. The remains of the current Alexandria Lighthouse are located on the island of Faros, next to Alexandria, Egypt. It is listed as one of the seven wonders of the world. In the year 700, the lighthouse and the statue above collapsed. In 1100, the part below the strong earthquake lighthouse was completely damaged, and in 1301 and 1435, the entire lighthouse was completely damaged. Around the 15th century, Egyptian King Mamluq Sultan built a castle on the remains of the lighthouse to resist foreign aggression, and now after Egypt's independence the castle is now a museum (museum of navigation). It was not until 1996 that some divers discovered some architectural relics on the Mediterranean seabed, and archaeologists have shown that these relics are the remains of the Alexandria Lighthouse. Now it is also a famous tourist attraction in Egypt, you can have a chance to see.

The Alexandria Lighthouse is one of the world's seventh wonders. The site is on Faros Island, on the edge of Alexandria, Egypt. The lighthouse was built about 280 BC and stood 1500 years outside Alexandria, but was extremely damaged in two earthquakes and finally sank completely to the sea in 1480.
