Origin of Lighthouses and Ancient Pharos Wonders
The earliest lighthouses trace to Libyans and Cushites in Lower Egypt with beacon fires tended by priests. Greek poet Lesches mentions a lighthouse at Sigeum 660 B C, and the Pharos of Alexandria stood about 600 feet tall, destroyed by an earthquake in the 13th century with remains visible until around 1350. The term Pharos gave the general meaning to lighthouse and pharology the science of lighthouse construction.
