In order for the lighthouse in Alexandria to be seen 50 km's away it would need to be nearly 1,000 feet tall. The lighthouse of Alexandria was about 350 feet tall. It could be seen only 35 km's away. That's pretty good considering the year it was built.
If there was the right type of atmospheric inversion, the light might be seen much further away. Just like a desert oasis can be. Or the lights of a nighttime city can be reflected far out to sea if the conditions are right. These usual incidents would be much talked about, and the lighthouse would get a reputation even if this only happened a few times a year.
There was an ancient coin found with an engraved rendering of the ancient light house. It is the only picture of the lighthouse from the time when It was still standing. It shows a slightly different structure than images that were made hundreds of years after it was destroyed.
There is no way ancient Alexandria will be able to compete against Rotterdam or any other modern ports. Rotterdam is winning this contest simply because of technology. Come on.
Sorry Could not bear it anymore after 24 minutes. Sidespeakers, just spooling out their learnt phrases. Not even sure if they are,what the titel said. Meh

I think they have gotten it wrong here .
She is saying all these profound things and he is adding the rest through his mouth.
I like these. But what’s with that lady what just obvious statements. Then look so proud after she says it.
Come on this ain't a fair comparison
