The Pharos lighthouse was a true wonder in architecture and engineering, even bearing similarities to modern skyscrapers, its such a shame its no longer standing💔
@equestriangirly22963 жыл бұрын
Well, at least it stood for 1500 long years. I'm not sure our modern day skyscrapers will still be standing in another 1500 years. The oldest skyscraper still standing intact (not later demolished) is the Park Row Building in New York which opened in 1896. It's 30 stories high. That's 124 years old...

The romans built one of the greatest empires in history. As much as the greeks gave us, Romes brilliant organizational and engineering feats made them stand out among all ancient people. Theres multiple examples, many of which are in excellent conditions and even still used today. They certainly helped shape the modern world we live in nowadays.

@@HRH-vc6jj Roads and aqueducts above all. Roads were pivotal for trade and aqueducts pivotal for cities to grow (humans need fresh water to survive). Without roads and aqueducts Rome could never have grown or been a great culture. Greeks gave us science, medicine and democracy and they remained the scholars and educated class in ancient Rome as well. Rome's strength was that it assimilated all the best part of all Mediterranean cultures into their own and spread that throughout their empire. The Roman ships were inferior to those of Phoenicians, especially those from mighty Carthage, however the Romans managed to seize one, study it extensively and build their own copies of Carthaginian ships thereby nullifying the advantage Carthage had on the Roman fleet. Gaul built roads before the Romans but never on their level and with the same longevity. Their ability to build roads and bridges in places people never believed could be tamed was their strength and heritage to Europe.

Many reasons: greeks were the ones who selected the wonders = biased Greeks never built anything similar to the scale of the lighthouse before, suggesting that it was probably Egyptian engineers who worked on it (used to the techniques of building mega structures To be honest, aside from the great pyramid and the light house, non of the seven wonders were really ‘wonders’.

The Tower of Hercules (Spanish: Torre de Hércules) is the oldest existent lighthouse known. It has an ancient Roman origin on a peninsula about 2.4 km (1.5 mi) from the centre of A Coruña, Galicia, in north-western Spain. Until the 20th century, it was known as the Farum Brigantium.[2] The Latin word farum is derived from the Greek Φάρος, Pharos, for the Lighthouse of Alexandria. The structure stands 55 metres (180 ft) tall and overlooks the North Atlantic coast of Spain. It was built in the 1st century and renovated in 1791.

That Lighthouse of Pharos Alexandria has contributed the most important history of the ancient Bible translation, the Septuagint. Ptolemy instructed the 72Jewish scholars from Jerusalem to translate Hebrew Torah to Greek Pentateuch the First Greek translation of Hebrew Bible by the Help of Alexandrian librarian Aristeas & Eleazar the High Priest of Jewish people in Jerusalem. The tedious labor happened in that Pharos Island ( Emanuel Tov: Old Testament textual Criticism p.72 & Aristeas writings of antiquity).

There is a floor mosaic in the ancient roman city port of Ostia, in the ancient maritime commerce plaza behind the theater that depicts the Lighthouse of Alexandria. As far as i know i am the only person to have linked this mosaic to the famous egyptian wonder of the ancient world. The mosaic picture depicts an egyptian boat and a roman boat both in front of a lighthouse which in my mind without a doubt identifies the lighthouse of Alexandria and the origin the imported egyptian goods that would haveen sold at that stall. The lighthouse has atop a large burning flame in a copola.
