This comprehensive and insightful book brings scientific rigor to the problems of reconstructing the Pharos Lighthouse, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and understanding how it functioned as the archetypal lighthouse in antiquity, when it was described as a “second Sun”.
Several lighthouses were constructed along the coast of Alexandria and eastwards in Rosetta, Damietta, Cape Bourlos and Port Said to facilitate the navigation of trade and navy vessels to and from Egyptian ports.
The existence of lighthouses before the Pharos of Alexandria is a subject of much debate, but so far there is no unequivocal evidence of lighthouse structures prior to 280 BCE. This paper examines the latest evidence to shed light on the matter.
