Pharos of Alexandria: Footage of one of Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
The Alexandria Lighthouse, renowned as the Pharos of Alexandria, is a legendary beacon that once graced the ancient city of Alexandria, Egypt. It stood not only as a symbol of architectural and engineering brilliance but also as one of the most celebrated landmarks of the ancient world. The Alexandria Lighthouse is believed to have been constructed around 280 BCE during the reign of Ptolemy II Philadelphus, a prominent ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt. The brilliant design behind this remarkable edifice is credited to the Greek architect Sostratus of Cnidus. It was nothing short of a marvel in the realm of ancient engineering and architecture. Rising to a staggering height of approximately 100 to 130 meters, it proudly held the title of one of the tallest structures in the ancient world, second only to the Great Pyramid of Giza.
This awe-inspiring footage was captured using the best cameras, and downloadable in both 4K and HD resolutions. But that's not all; our shot is also available in portrait mode, ideal for mobile devices and sharing on popular social media platforms. The lighthouse was strategically situated on the small island of Pharos, connected to the bustling city of Alexandria by a causeway. This location was no coincidence; it served as a guiding light for ships navigating the city's vibrant harbor, ensuring safe passage for trade and exploration. The Pharos of Alexandria not only guided ships but also illuminated the path of knowledge. It stood as a symbol of the intellectual and cultural achievements of Alexandria, a city renowned for its scholarship and the famed Library of Alexandria, a beacon of learning in the ancient world.
