The Pharos lighthouse was a true wonder in architecture and engineering, even bearing similarities to modern skyscrapers, its such a shame its no longer standing💔
Well, at least it stood for 1500 long years. I'm not sure our modern day skyscrapers will still be standing in another 1500 years. The oldest skyscraper still standing intact (not later demolished) is the Park Row Building in New York which opened in 1896. It's 30 stories high. That's 124 years old...
@@equestriangirly2296 most buildings now aren't built to last more than 100 years. I think it's on purpose too, because they want to make demolition easy for new buildings in the future.
I'm so fascinated by ancient cities and learning stories about them!
Same bro, I bet there is so much undiscovered
Me too
I climbed that in AC: Origins! Haha
I was think about doing it too!!! LOL. Now I am
Is that a video game?
@@SWLinPHX yeah
@@SWLinPHX yes
That's why I'm here lol
The fact that vikings probably were drinking and partying in alexandria in the 800s-1100s 👌🏻
what? where can i find information on this?
It’s cool that it had a statue of Poseidon at the top. Very fitting as well.
I really missed watching your videos 🥰
The Tower of Hercules (Spanish: Torre de Hércules) is the oldest existent lighthouse known. It has an ancient Roman origin on a peninsula about 2.4 km (1.5 mi) from the centre of A Coruña, Galicia, in north-western Spain. Until the 20th century, it was known as the Farum Brigantium.[2] The Latin word farum is derived from the Greek Φάρος, Pharos, for the Lighthouse of Alexandria. The structure stands 55 metres (180 ft) tall and overlooks the North Atlantic coast of Spain. It was built in the 1st century and renovated in 1791.
Who’s here from AC Origins
Correction: ‘mamluk’ isnt a sultan, the sultan was a guy named Qaitbay. Mamluk is the dynasty that ruled Egypt
Happy they will be rebuilding it 🥰
Do you mean they will build it ???
Keep up the great work
Love all of the seven wonders of the world!
Me too.
The Greeks built so many wonders. Considering their engineering, y didn’t the romans do one too?
The romans build:
The Flavian Amphitheatre (Coliseum in Rome)
The Pantheon (Temple of the gods in Rome)
Theodosian Walls (Walls of Constantinople)
Hadrian's Wall (England)
The romans built one of the greatest empires in history. As much as the greeks gave us, Romes brilliant organizational and engineering feats made them stand out among all ancient people. Theres multiple examples, many of which are in excellent conditions and even still used today. They certainly helped shape the modern world we live in nowadays.
With what I saw on this groups page it is one of the best and most knowledgeable groups I have ever come across on here!😊🐻
@@HRH-vc6jj Roads and aqueducts above all. Roads were pivotal for trade and aqueducts pivotal for cities to grow (humans need fresh water to survive). Without roads and aqueducts Rome could never have grown or been a great culture.
Greeks gave us science, medicine and democracy and they remained the scholars and educated class in ancient Rome as well. Rome's strength was that it assimilated all the best part of all Mediterranean cultures into their own and spread that throughout their empire. The Roman ships were inferior to those of Phoenicians, especially those from mighty Carthage, however the Romans managed to seize one, study it extensively and build their own copies of Carthaginian ships thereby nullifying the advantage Carthage had on the Roman fleet. Gaul built roads before the Romans but never on their level and with the same longevity.
Their ability to build roads and bridges in places people never believed could be tamed was their strength and heritage to Europe.
Many reasons: greeks were the ones who selected the wonders = biased
Greeks never built anything similar to the scale of the lighthouse before, suggesting that it was probably Egyptian engineers who worked on it (used to the techniques of building mega structures
To be honest, aside from the great pyramid and the light house, non of the seven wonders were really ‘wonders’.
Love these vids can u make more of Norse mythology those are my favorite videos you make
soon
@@SeeUinHistory This isn't really about Mythology Although Great video. 😀👍
The ancestor of the modern lighthouse.
Sometimes im grateful CZcams's listening to my personal phone calls. 🤔😓✌cant explain some of these videos that pop up. . except my full private conversation about alexandria last night. Then i wake up to this video. Unpromted. Smh. Creepy. Still a Great video.
You must be an interesting conversationalist
I love this
I've been in a lighthouse it's not interesting it was just stairs a bed and a big lamb stairs wires and stairs that's it basically
Fun fact: this Alexandria was used as evidence for the earth being round
I'm not weird everyone else is weird and I'm normal it was kinda different from nowadays lighthouses though
There is zero evidence for the earth being a sphere.
@CommentDeleter Yes, well, you obviously aren't familiar with how the internet works.
@@quietquitter6103 The burden of proof lies with you and you have none. Show me the ice wall. A picture of the ice wall. You absolute mongrel.
That lighthouse should have survived for two thousands of years
What did they use for a light? Very interesting.
The picture at 1:20 is from AC Origins!
Good video
Jet fuel can't melt white granite and marble
Loki brought me here. Great history lesson
epic!
The Lighthouse!
Taller than the Spire in Dublin, Ireland. Impressed
OH MY!!!
Wonder what the lightsource would have been? A huge oil lamp? A beacon of firewood?
oh my!
2:08 imagine if it falls on a ship
Basically a skyscraper
Im from egypt alexandria
Coincidentally I read about this in my honors class today
The mouth ! Of the Nile !? Inner west delta
1,500 years is awesome!
There is a floor mosaic in the ancient roman city port of Ostia, in the ancient maritime commerce plaza behind the theater that depicts the Lighthouse of Alexandria. As far as i know i am the only person to have linked this mosaic to the famous egyptian wonder of the ancient world. The mosaic picture depicts an egyptian boat and a roman boat both in front of a lighthouse which in my mind without a doubt identifies the lighthouse of Alexandria and the origin the imported egyptian goods that would haveen sold at that stall. The lighthouse has atop a large burning flame in a copola.
Porus the great Alexander the brave
A wonder that is no longer with us all
That Lighthouse of Pharos Alexandria has contributed the most important history of the ancient Bible translation, the Septuagint. Ptolemy instructed the 72Jewish scholars from Jerusalem to translate Hebrew Torah to Greek Pentateuch the First Greek translation of Hebrew Bible by the Help of Alexandrian librarian Aristeas & Eleazar the High Priest of Jewish people in Jerusalem. The tedious labor happened in that Pharos Island ( Emanuel Tov: Old Testament textual Criticism p.72 & Aristeas writings of antiquity).
How can the top tower canopy didn't burn to ashes when they use huge fire as a light
I've been there.
Old town?
I believe that if they used crystals to help magnify the beam it should be possible. Like a modern day laser
thats ironic.
Poseidon, bringer of earthquakes.
howed the tower fall?
Earthquakes.
Coincidence, i think not
Can you do Jason and The Argonauts please
It doesn’t list who the person is that is speaking. Is it just me or does that sound like George Takei as the narrator of the video ?
These big channels use production grade speech synth. Easy to spot when you notice the flaws and robotic characteristics. Saves the cost of a narrator.

LIGHTHOUSE
you used so many footage from AC origins lol
Assassin's Creed Origins
I’m here before the afrocentrics try to claim an archeological Greek marvel
But still they think Cleopatra was black
@@arkitsingh7083 they also think that ancient Egyptians were black😑
Lost 123 I believe the Egyptians themselves were black, they were Nubian after all, but the ptolomies weren’t, they were Greek not Egyptian
@@arkitsingh7083 she didn't look black to me. She looked like a white girl with a tan.
@@joeyfisher3838 You can believe whatever you like, it doesn't change the fact that ancient Egyptians weren't black.

Porus will defeat the Alexander in India means bharat east or west india is the best
What doing

The height is a about 11 miles actually!
