After 1,600 years underwater, remains of the Lighthouse of Alexandria emerge

After an astonishing 1,600 years submerged, remnants of the iconic Lighthouse of Alexandria are now emerging from the depths! This incredible rediscovery offers a breathtaking glimpse into one of the ancient world's Seven Wonders. 🏛️✨ #Archaeology #AncientHistory #SevenWonders #Discovery

Archaeologists lift 80-tonne stones from seabed linked to one of seven wonders of ancient world Archaeologists have lifted 80-tonne stones from the seabed in Egypt linked to one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. A major underwater effort has ensued in the Eastern Harbour of Alexandria, Egypt, where teams of archaeologists have successfully raised 22 massive stone blocks directly linked to the Lighthouse of Alexandria. ### The lighthouse, considered one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, for centuries only existed in history and legend. However, due to modern technology, archaeologists have recovered stones linked to the legendary structure. ### TRENDING Stories Videos Your Say ### The recovery also included architectural elements such as lintels (the horizontal beam over a doorway), door supports, thresholds and large paving slabs. One of the most significant discoveries is a previously unknown pylon-like structure containing what is believed to be an Egyptian-style doorway, indicating the lighthouse may have been more architecturally complex than previously thought, with the structure design showing both Egyptian and Greek influences. Led by archaeologist Isabelle Hairy, the archeological site forms part of the international Pharos project who is hoping to develop a ‘digital twin’ (highly detailed virtual reconstruction) of the lighthouse. Researchers will scan and analyse the newly lifted stones in detail, to observe construction and design techniques and create hypotheses on how the structure was built and what it looked like. ### ### ### The ruins of the Pharos (lighthouse) of Alexandria was built in the early 3rd century BC by the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Ancient Egypt, during the reign of Ptolemy II Philadelphus (280-247 BC). It is estimated to have been at least 100 metres in height and for centuries, it was one of the world’s tallest man-made structures. The lighthouse was destroyed by the early 14th century AD after a series of earthquakes beginning around the 4th century AD, causing the shoreline and surrounding city to gradually erode and submerge. Following its destruction, the remains of the lighthouse were forgotten for centuries. ### LATEST DEVELOPMENTS * Scientists unearth remarkably well-preserved fossil with dinosaur skin still attached * Shipwreck remnants from 17th century wash up on British coast * Archaeologists uncover 'wonderful' Roman terracotta head ### ### It was only when local authorities trying to conserve another archaeological site, the Citadel of Qaitbay, that the remains of the lighthouse were rediscovered. The submerged archaeological site covers at least 13,000 square metres and contains more than 3,000 individual elements lying between 2.6 and 8.5 metres below sea level. These include architectural blocks, statues and metal components such as bronze, iron and lead fixings, which were used to form the original structures. Systematic underwater excavations began in 1994 and since then, the site has been investigated through regular annual missions, with researchers creating detailed maps and databases cataloguing the recovered material. ### ### After more than two decades of study, researchers say they are now able to propose historical interpretations of the site and begin partial reconstructions of the monuments that once stood there. The project is supported by the French National Centre for Scientific Research and the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities. ### ### **Our Standards:The GB News Editorial Charter **

Archeologists in Egypt believe they have found 20 huge stones that formed the door of the lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.

A photo of Bettany Hughes book The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World taken against a sandy background. The top half of the book is bright orange and shows the pyramid of Giza, the bottom half is deep blue and shows a reflection of that pyramid.

Here in Kos for a full day and a half and I’ve only finished one book. I must be off my game 😂 given that three of the wonders relate to Greek gods/Titans this one seems appropriate for the setting. #BookJourney #NonFiction #SevenWonders #BettanyHughes

🏛️ I’ve been watching Bettany Hughes Seven Wonders of the Ancient World series on C5 and loved it so much, I’ve just borrowed the book from the library! 📚✨

I'll make a path to the rainbow's end
I'll never live to match the beauty again

Here’s a version of the classic view of ‘The Treasury’ as you emerge from the Siq, a 1km long narrow canyon. This is the ‘Indiana Jones’ view This photo is enhanced by the morning sunlight warming the face of the elaborate carved sandstone edifice.

Here’s a shot of some of the elaborate architectural details the Nabataeans carved into the sandstone. As traders and contemporaries of the Greeks, Romans, and late-period Egyptians, the Nabataeans liberally incorporated figures and design elements from these cultures.

A gorgeous view framed by the narrow canyon walls and capped by a signature Jordanian blue sky, enhanced by thin wisps of clouds.

A full view of ‘The Treasury’ with tourists in the foreground for scale and context. It’s noteworthy that, while ‘The Treasury’ is the most famous edifice in Petra, it is not the largest. High above Petra’s main valley, is another, larger edifice, called ‘The Monastery’. Ironically, neither of these actually functioned as they have been named. They are thought to have been massive tombs or ceremonial sites.

For #Stunday, I’m going to the archive for classic shots of ‘The Treasury’ at #PetraJordan
