How the Lighthouse of Alexandria Still (Sorta) Exists

Описание: Ah, the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World - the 7 things every tourist had on their bucket list 2000 years ago. You’ve probably heard that all of them are gone, except for the pyramids of Giza, which are ironically the oldest of them by far, but what if I told you that the other wonder in Egypt, the lighthouse of Alexandria, still (sorta) exists?

And I don’t just mean that a few blocks from it are still sitting around somewhere, I mean that it’s still standing and you ca still climb up it… in a way. The only thing is, this lighthouse isn’t the original. But it’s pretty much a scale model, so just like how you can still technically call the Eiffel Tower in Las Vegas, “the Eiffel Tower” even though it isn’t the original, you can technically, sorta call this mini-lighthouse of Alexandria the lighthouse of Alexandria.

But before we delve into the mini-lighthouse, we’ve gotta look into what made the OG lighthouse so special, what eventually happened to. And since this video is all about how the lighthouse of Alexandria sort of still exists, we’ll be looking into what tantalizing traces of the actual Pharos still survive.

I will try to list my many sources down here after uploading the video
