* Pharos of Alexandria (Egypt) (3rd century BC):
- The Lighthouse of Alexandria, also known as the Pharos of Alexandria was a tower built between 280 and 247 BC on the island of Pharos at Alexandria, Egypt. Its purpose was to guide sailors into the harbour at night time. It was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
- Pharos was a small island just off the coast of Alexandria. It was linked to the mainland by a man-made connection named the Heptastadion, which thus formed one side of the city's harbour. The tower erected there guided mariners at night, through its fire and reflective mirrors, as well as being a landmark by day.
