The Pharos of Alexandria, a magnificent lighthouse at the entrance of the harbor, stood tall and proud as a symbol of ancient engineering marvels. Engraved depictions from different eras capture its grandeur and significance in history. From Ptolemy I Soter's reign to the 18th century and beyond, this iconic structure has captivated imaginations. One engraving portrays an imaginary depiction from the nineteenth century, showcasing the awe-inspiring height and intricate design that made it one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Another engraving by al-Gharnati in Cosmographia offers a glimpse into its majestic presence against the backdrop of Alexandria. In 1572, artist Philipp Galle immortalized The Lighthouse at Alexandria as part of his series on The Eighth Wonders of the World. This artwork highlights its architectural splendor with meticulous detail. Throughout history, artists have sought to recreate this monumental structure through their engravings. Each portrayal captures not only its physical appearance but also its historical significance as a beacon guiding ships safely into port. Even though time has taken its toll on this once-mighty lighthouse, photographs from later centuries like those from 1882 and 1933-1934 show remnants still standing on Paros Island in Alexandria. These images serve as reminders that even ruins can evoke wonder and admiration for what was once an extraordinary feat of human ingenuity. The Pharos of Alexandria continues to inspire fascination today, reminding us that our ancestors possessed incredible knowledge and skills long before modern technology existed. Its legacy lives on through these captivating engravings which allow us to appreciate both its beauty and historical importance.
