I saw scuba divers finding big stone blocks in the Alexandria harbor...that were alleged to be parts of the Alexandria lighthouse after the several earthquakes.

Is this wrong ?

I saw the documentary again which showed the replica of the Pharos; it was a tomb believed to have been built in imitation of the Pharos’ design. “Engineering an Empire”, hosted by Peter Weller.
