    The #LighthouseofAlexandria is one of the #SevenWonders of the #AncientWorld. It was built between 299 and 279 BC under #PtolemyI by #SostratusofCnidus and was #destroyed by earthquakes in the early 14th century AD. #Scientists led by construction researcher Isabelle Hairy (#CNRS) #raised 22 #blocks of it from the #seabed in 2025. It is intended to better understand the #tower's #construction.
