The Pharos (Lighthouse) of Alexandria

Illustrations and maps depicting the lighthouse and its location - A BIG LOAD

Sostratus, the son of Dexiphanes, the Cnidian, dedicated this to the Saviour Gods, on behalf of those who sail the seas.

Oh, thank U Mo! You are faboo!
I just love history & had read some of the
lighthouse's treasures (i.e. sculptures)
had been found back in '97. I've had a book that
listed the seven wonders since I was a younger thing.
The lighthouse was always my fave wonder.
I've also always loved the odd stories of
"ancient" & "extinct" animal sightings. Oddly
enough, I found a site that has both.
Thanks again for the links.
