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.
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.
@@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’.
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.
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
Sometimes im grateful TH-cam'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.
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).
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.

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?
Who’s here from AC Origins
It’s cool that it had a statue of Poseidon at the top. Very fitting as well.
I really missed watching your videos 🥰
Correction: ‘mamluk’ isnt a sultan, the sultan was a guy named Qaitbay. Mamluk is the dynasty that ruled Egypt
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)

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!😊🐻

Love all of the seven wonders of the world!
Me too.
Keep up the great work
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. 😀👍
Incredibly amazing!
Happy they will be rebuilding it 🥰
Do you mean they will build it ???
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.

You must be an interesting conversationalist
The ancestor of the modern lighthouse.
🇫🇷 phare and 🇮🇹 faro both mean lighthouse
Loki brought me here. Great history lesson
That lighthouse should have survived for two thousands of years
Good video
The picture at 1:20 is from AC Origins!
What did they use for a light? Very interesting.
They lit a fire
Seeing the oldest rome lighthouse, its unfortunate it had to face these events
Taller than the Spire in Dublin, Ireland. Impressed
Imagine if they decide to rebuild it using some of the original materials!
Jet fuel can't melt white granite and marble
oh my!
The mouth ! Of the Nile !? Inner west delta
1,500 years is awesome!
Wonder what the lightsource would have been? A huge oil lamp? A beacon of firewood?
Coincidentally I read about this in my honors class today
The Lighthouse!

2:08 imagine if it falls on a ship
How can the top tower canopy didn't burn to ashes when they use huge fire as a light
It was made of stone
I believe that if they used crystals to help magnify the beam it should be possible. Like a modern day laser
They could have use that as a weapon against enemy ships

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.
Basically a skyscraper
Stalinist skyscrapers do look alike
