ANCIENT EGYPT BY TRAIN (2023) — 1.01 Alexandria

The Pharos of Alexandria by Roy Krenkel

“The Pharos at Alexandria” Roy G. Krenkel 1975

Our next book about lighthouses is The Electric Mirror on the Pharos Lighthouse and Other Ancient Lighting (2006) ed. by Larry Brian Radka. The description reads

This book aims to prove through a comprehensive presentation of ancient coins, artifacts, monuments, and literature that the ancients used electricity to light up their temples, tombs, lighthouses, fortresses, palaces, cities and other edifices and critical areas. No other work on the subject in existence documents nearly as much evidence for ancient electrical technology, and it recalls interesting details and descriptions of the ancient Alexandrian Pharos Lighthouse and its electric beacon, some of which have never been published in English before. More importantly, this highly researched work finally solves once and for all the riddle of the Bible's mysterious Ark of the Covenant. Read this book and don't wonder anymore!

While we cannot vouch for its accuracy, it is an interesting perspective on lighthouses. Radka is also the author of Historical Evidence for Unicorns (1995).

The Great Library of Alexandria, with the Lighthouse in the background - neither of which survive today :(

The Lighthouse of Alexandria viwed from a central street, with statues of Demeter/Ceres on each side.

Statue of Ptolemy at a crossroad. In game, the player can find these dotted across the map and must destroy each of them - Bayek of Siwa was not a fan of Ptolemy (for good reason) x

Paul's Seven Wonders of the Modern Word - The Taco

The first seven wonders were the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World*. They were called they were: seven of them, were wonders, and were around during the times of the ancient world. Presumably there were wonders around hundreds of millions of years ago. The world back then teemed with nothing more than the odd virus colony. Unfortunately, the ancient virus never left any written record. And if…

Have an Alexandria posing for a propaganda photoshoot. I know that implies I have to do the rest of the triumvirate in the same shoot now, but I'm not gauranteeing anything.
