7 wonders of the world. Lighthouse of Alexandria

The seven wonders on Antipater's list won esimates for their notable features, ranging from superlatives of the highest or largest of their types, to the artistry.Their architectural and artistic features were imitated throughout the Hellenistic world and beyond. The Lighthouse of Alexandria, sometimes or the Pharos of Alexandria was a lighthouse built by the Ptolemaic Kingdom between 280 and 247 BC which was between 393 and 450 ft (120 and 137 m) tall. One of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, it was one of the tallest man-made structures in the world for many centuries. Badly damaged by three earthquakes between AD 956 and 1323, it then became an abandoned ruin. In 1994, French archaeologists discovered some remains of the lighthouse on the floor of Alexandria's Eastern Harbour.
