The Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, continues to fascinate and inspire. Constructed in the 3rd century BC, it guided ships to Alexandria for centuries. Recent studies and presentations are keeping its legacy alive in 2025.
Abigail Palmer presented on the Lighthouse of Alexandria on May 22, 2025, at the St. Helena Public Library. Her presentation covered the lighthouse's construction, its role in Alexandria's growth, and its lasting impact. Palmer, an expert in the ancient world, highlighted the lighthouse as a symbol of knowledge and trade.
Archaeologists and researchers are still uncovering secrets of the lighthouse. A project in Spring 2025 gathers scientists to create an accurate 3D reconstruction of the monument, using advanced modeling software and AI. The lighthouse remains an architectural marvel and a testament to ancient engineering.
