The lighthouse of
Alexandria
The famous
lighthouse of Alexandria, the seventh wonder of the ancient world, was born
under Ptolemy II, near the famous city of Alexander the Great: Alexandria.
Monument surrounded by a veil of mystery, it has inspired many legends. Its
exceptional appearance for the time (it was for a very long time the highest
monument in the world), gave it a special aura, perhaps simply because the
lighthouse of Alexandria was then the reflection of a phenomenal architectural
work for the l era, with sober and elegant elegance. Considered the highest
building in the world during antiquity, and a rare technological finesse, many
scientists came to admire it because the mirror reflected the focus of light
more than 50 kilometers. Its particularity is also due to the fact that it was
the only wonder of the world to have a practical use.
Its construction
is located around 297 BC. It is Ptolemy I who is the initiator. He chooses
Pharos Island as his location. The monument takes several years to build and he
will never see the finished work. It is his son, Ptolemy II who will continue
its construction and will see its completion. An ultimate representation of the
Greek power that had settled in the country, the lighthouse was in the image of
the city of Alexandria: disproportionate and impressive. Hence the derivative
in our contemporary language of the word lighthouse in the sense of greatness:
"pharamineux" (also written astronomical).
For centuries,
the lighthouse will be the landmark for all sailors of Egypt. But earthquakes
considerably erode the monument, especially in the fourth and fourteenth
century. It will be completely destroyed in the fifteenth century when one of
the last Mamluk rulers of the country decided to build instead a citadel to
protect the city from Ottoman invasions. The short story is that Fort Qaitbay,
which is now on the site of the lighthouse, was built in part with recovered
lighthouse blocks.
Even though the
lighthouse was destroyed long before historians were interested in it, there
were many documents attesting to its existence and providing a fairly accurate
description of the monument. Its square base would be slightly pyramidal, its
octagonal column, and a distal round tower surmounted by a statue would have
been placed at the top of the lighthouse (its identity is food for thought,
some speak of Zeus, the God of Gods, others of Poseidon , the god of the seas).
In addition, it can be estimated that the lighthouse had three distinct floors.
The lighthouse of Alexandria, like the city that hosts it, was so admired at
the time that we even found objects in Afghanistan representing him. It has
been the source of many texts and legends, whose historians can no longer
discern the true from the mystified.
It is from the middle
of the twentieth century that one decides to explore the seabed near the site
to have more precision on the famous seventh wonder of the world. There are
many blocks of stone and a statue of Isis. This search on the lighthouse
allowed even to raise to the surface of the columns dating from Ramsès II and
Séthi Ier, surely imported in the city and used for new constructions during
the Greek presence.
The lighthouse of
Alexandria, partly engulfed by the waters, will remain forever a mystery. Even
if many hypotheses follow each other to discern what it was like at the time,
we will never be able to have an exact representation of what it was. This is
what makes it so, has forged its legend, and made it one of the wonders of the
world.
